Lab 7 part 2

by clydebolyard

Objectives

Use subnets, assign ip addresses, masks, and gateway addresses to build an operational network.

Equipment

Computers, cabling, router, and switches

Notes and Observations

First we setup three different “groups of computers. Two with three computers and one with four computers. Next we mapped out our network like the exercises in class. We then assigned a switch with each group connected to a router. Next we connected the three routers connected to a main switch. We used the network address of 174.178.0.0. With a submask 255.255.192.0 so that we could create four different subnets. The central network we assigned the 0 subnet,  64,128,192 subnet was assigned to the other groups. We then assigned ip addresses and gateway addresses to everyone.

Lastly, we used command prompt to configure the routers and computers.Then we pinged eachother to make sure everything works.

Conclusion

The lab was very helpful to have a better understanding of subnetting. It would of been better to have before the exam, It helped a lot with the understanding of subnetting in a real life situation with hands on experience.
