Lab – Designing and Implementing a VLSM Addressing Scheme Lab – Designing and Implementing a VLSM Addressing Scheme Topology Objectives Part 1: Examine Network Requirements Part 2: Design the VLSM Address Scheme Part 3: Cable and Configure the IPv4 Network Background / Scenario Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) was designed to avoid wasting IP addresses. With VLSM, a network is subnetted and then re-subnetted. This process can be repeated multiple times to create subnets of various sizes based on the number of hosts required in each subnet. Effective use of VLSM requires address planning. In this lab, use the 172.16.128.0/17 network address to develop an address scheme for the network displayed in the topology diagram. VLSM is used to meet the IPv4 addressing requirements. After you have designed the VLSM address scheme, you will configure the interfaces on the routers with the appropriate IP address information. Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the correct interface identifiers. Note: Make sure that the routers have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor. Required Resources 3 routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS software, Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable) 1 PC (with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term, to configure routers) Console cable to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports Ethernet (optional) and serial cables, as shown in the topology Windows Calculator (optional) Examine Network Requirements In Part 1, you will examine the network requirements to develop a VLSM address scheme for the network displayed in the topology diagram using the 172.16.128.0/17 network address. Note: You can use the Windows Calculator application and the www.ipcalc.org IP subnet calculator to help with your calculations. Determine how many host addresses and subnets are available.

Assign the first host address in the subnet to the Ethernet interfaces. HQ should be given the first host address on the Serial links to BR1 and BR2. BR1 should be given the first host address for the serial link to BR2. Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask Device Interface HQ G0/0 16,000 Host LAN G0/1 8,000 Host LAN S0/0/0 BR1 S0/0/0 S0/0/1 BR2 S0/0/1 BR1 G0/0 2,000 Host LAN G0/1 4,000 Host LAN S0/0/0 HQ S0/0/0 S0/0/1 BR2 S0/0/0 BR2 G0/0 500 Host LAN G0/1 1,000 Host LAN S0/0/0 BR1 S0/0/1 S0/0/1 HQ S0/0/1 Cable and Configure the IPv4 Network In Part 3, you will cable the network topology and configure the three routers using the VLSM address scheme that you developed in Part 2. Cable the network as shown in the topology. Configure basic settings on each router. Assign the device name to the router. Disable DNS lookup to prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as though they were hostnames. Assign class as the privileged EXEC encrypted password. Assign cisco as the console password and enable login. Assign cisco as the VTY password and enable login. Encrypt the clear text passwords. Create a banner that will warn anyone accessing the device that unauthorized access is prohibited. Configure the interfaces on each router. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to each interface using the table that you completed in Part 2. Configure an interface description for each interface. Set the clocking rate on all DCE serial interfaces to 128000. HQ(config-if)# clock rate 128000 Activate the interfaces. Save the configuration on all devices. Test Connectivity. From HQ, ping BR1’s S0/0/0 interface address. From HQ, ping BR2’s S0/0/1 interface address. From BR1, ping BR2’s S0/0/0 interface address. Troubleshoot connectivity issues if pings were not successful. Note: Pings to the GigabitEthernet interfaces on other routers will not be successful. The LANs defined for the GigabitEthernet interfaces are simulated. Because no devices are attached to these LANs they will be in down/down state. A routing protocol needs to be in place for other devices to be aware of those subnets. The GigabitEthernet interfaces also need to be in an up/up state before a routing protocol can add the subnets to the routing table. These interfaces will remain in a down/down state until a device is connected to the other end of the Ethernet interface cable. The focus of this lab is on VLSM and configuring the interfaces. Reflection Can you think of a shortcut for calculating the network addresses of consecutive /30 subnets? _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Router Interface Summary Table Router Interface Summary Router Model Ethernet Interface #1 Ethernet Interface #2 Serial Interface #1 Serial Interface #2 1800 Fast Ethernet 0/0 (F0/0) Fast Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) Serial 0/0/0 (S0/0/0) Serial 0/0/1 (S0/0/1) 1900 Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 (G0/0) Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 (G0/1) Serial 0/0/0 (S0/0/0) Serial 0/0/1 (S0/0/1) 2801 Fast Ethernet 0/0 (F0/0) Fast Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) Serial 0/1/0 (S0/1/0) Serial 0/1/1 (S0/1/1) 2811 Fast Ethernet 0/0 (F0/0) Fast Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) Serial 0/0/0 (S0/0/0) Serial 0/0/1 (S0/0/1) 2900 Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 (G0/0) Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 (G0/1) Serial 0/0/0 (S0/0/0) Serial 0/0/1 (S0/0/1) Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be
