Assessment Objectives

Part 1: Build the Network

Part 2: Develop an IP Addressing Scheme

Part 3: Configure Basic Device Settings

Part 4: Configure Security Settings on Router-A and Switch-A

Part 5: Configure the Hosts and Verify Connectivity

Instructions

In this assessment you will configure the Router-A router and Switch-A switch, as you have done in the activities in this course. You will also connect two PCs using a switch and a router that are in the main wiring closet. You will subnet the 172.16.1.0/24 network to provide IPv4 addresses for two subnets that will support the required number of hosts. The larger subnet (LAN 1) requires 60 hosts and the smaller subnet (LAN 2) requires 20 hosts.

No subnet calculators may be used.
