Design the Logical LAN Topology: Given Network 192.168.1.0 with mask of 255.255.

Question

Design the Logical LAN Topology:

Given Network 192.168.1.0 with mask of 255.255.255.240 for Subnet A,

and Network 192.168.2.0 with mask of 255.255.255.224 for Subnet B:

Build this network in Packet-Tracer as follows:

Configure Router1:

Configure host computers.

After configuring each host computer, record the host network settings with the ipconfig /all command.

Verify network connectivity:

Use the ping command to verify network connectivity.

In addition to the ping command, what other Windows command is useful in displaying network delay and breaks in the path to the destination? _________________

Note: If PacketTracer file available, please include.

Explanation / Answer

This is a very long assignment, I'll walk you through Network A. Network A is a /28 network, meaning that each subnet can have 2^(32-28)-2 hosts, the range is from 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.15. The network ID is always the first IP address in the subnet range ( .0) The broadcast ID is always the last IP address in the subnet range (.15) These two IPs may NOT be used as client addresses. The IP addresses in between may be used for clients (1-15) This is how the maximum client count comes to 2^(32-Mask#)-2 comes out. You may assign any IP address in that range to the devices in Network A. Devices in Network A will not be able to communicate with devices in any other network unless connected by a Layer 3 Device, such as your Router 1, configured to route packets between the networks. The router will need two addresses since it has two interfaces, one in the network A range and one in the network 2 range. The default gateway for non-router hosts in each network will be address of the Router's interface that is in the same network. So if the IP address of the router's Network A interface (Fast Ethernet 0/0) is 192.168.0.1, the Gateway address of hosts on that network will be that same .0.1 address. The last question is reaching for a very specific answer, it wants you to say trace route, which in Windows is called tracert. Tracert sends a series of pings to a target destination, each one with a TTL (Time To Live) one hop greater than the previous. The result is a chain of TTL Reached responses from each device between you and your destination. Hopefully this helps some.
