2. Outcome
Describe how hosts on separate subnets communicate to share resources.
Background / Preparation
This activity demonstrates how to configure devices on different subnets so that they
can communicate with each other. It is important that the devices and the routers
connecting subnets have the correct IP address.
SCENARIO
From the command prompt on myPC, you try to ping 192.168.1.45 to reach myServer
and ping 192.168.1.33 to reach myRouter. The ping attempts from myPC cannot reach
myServer and myRouter.
After you inspect the information of myPC, myServer, and myRouter, you get the results
as appear below:
myServer;
myRouter;
3. myPc
Write down the IP address and subnet mask of each device.
myServer - _______________________________________________
myRouter - _______________________________________________
myPc - ___________________________________________________
QUESTION.
Determine if the devices are all in the same subnet, or if they are in different
subnets._______________________________________
(scratch area)
4. Is myPC in the same subnet as myServer and in the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of
myRouter? __________________________________________
After you answer the questions above, you should be able to configure the network to
allow myPC to reach myServer.
Now, assign the second usable address in the subnet used for the LAN supported by
myRouter to myPC. __________________________________________________
REFLECTION
This assignment demonstrates how subnetting affects which devices can communicate
on a network. What does this mean for IP address planning when upgrading a network?
