Topology

Assessment Objectives

1. Develop an IP Addressing Scheme (20 points, 25 minutes)
2. Initialize and Reload Devices (10 points, 20 minutes)
3. Configure Device IP address and Security Settings (45 points, 35 minutes)
4. Test and Verify IPv4 and IPv6 End-to-End Connectivity (15 points, 20 minutes)
5. Use the IOS CLI to Gather Device Information (10 points, 10 minutes)

Scenario

In this Skills Assessment (SA) you will configure the devices in a small network. You must configure a router, switch and PCs to support both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. You will configure security, including SSH, on the router. In addition, you will test and document the network using common CLI commands.

Note: The router and the switch have a startup-configuration saved with commands as following:

• Router> enable
• Router# configure terminal
• Router(config)# hostname Rtr
• Rtr(config)# interface lo1
• Rtr(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255
• Rtr(config-if)# no shutdown
• Rtr(config-if)# end
• Rtr# copy running-config startup-config
• Switch
• Switch> enable
• Switch# configure terminal
• Switch(config)# hostname Sws
• Sws(config)# vlan 99
• Sws(config)# end
• Sws(config)# copy running-config startup-config

Required Resources

• 1 Router (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
• 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
• 2 PCs (Windows with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
• Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
• Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

Instructions

Part 1: Develop an IP Addressing Scheme

Total points: 20 – Time: 25 minutes

a. Your instructor will assign one of the IPv4 networks from the table below. You will subnet it to provide IP addresses to two subnets that will support the required number of hosts. No subnet calculators may be used. All work must be shown using the IP Addressing worksheet below.

Subnetting:

• Subnet A – 100 hosts
• 2^x – 2 ≥ 100; 2⁷ – 2 ≥ 100; 32 – 7 = 25 then the new Prefix is /25 or 255.255.255.128
• From /24 to /25 means one more bit, then 2¹ = 2 Subnet Address and the incremental number 128
• 192.168.10.0/25 and 192.168.10.128/25. The first subnet is assigned to Subnet A
• Host IP range for Subnet A: 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.126
• Subnet B – 50 hosts
• 2^x – 2 ≥ 50; 2⁶ – 2 ≥ 50; 32 – 6 = 26 then the new Prefix is /26 or 255.255.255.192
• From /25 to /26 means one more bit, then 2¹ = 2 Subnet Address and the incremental number 64
• 192.168.10.128/26 and 192.168.10.192/26. The first subnet is assigned to Subnet B
• Host IP range for Subnet A: 192.168.10.129 to 192.168.10.190

IP Addressing Worksheet

b. Record your subnet assignment in the table below.

• 1) Assign the first IPv4 address of each subnet to a router interface
  • subnet A is hosted on R1 G0/0/1
  • subnet B is hosted on R1 G0/0/0
• 2) Assign the last IPv4 address of each subnet to the PC NIC
• 3) Assign the second IPv4 address of subnet A to S1
• 4) List the maximum number of useable hosts per subnet

c. Record the IP address information for each device:

d. Use the IPv6 address 2001:db8:acad::/48 and create two subnets for use in this network. Record the IPv6 addresses in the table.

e. Record the IPv6 address information for each device.

Note: Use FE80::1 as the link-local address om both router interfaces.

Part 2: Initialize and Reload Devices

Total points: 10 – Time: 20 minutes

• Erase the startup configurations and VLANs from the router and switch and reload the devices.
• After the switch is reloaded, change the SDM template to one that supports IPv6 as necessary, and reload the switch again.

Before proceeding, ask your instructor verify device initializations.

Part 3: Configure Device IP Address and Security Settings

Total points: 45 – Time: 35 minutes

The 2960 switch has been replaced with the 3560 model due to compatibility issues.

Step 1-4: Configure R1, S1, host computers, Test and Verify End-to-End Connectivity
