1. Task
Instructions
There are two sections, SECTION A and SECTION B. Total
marks are 100.
There is one word file and one packet tracer file to be created.
• Study carefully the following network diagram. You will be
assigned TWO IP addresses to configure this network.
You need to e-mail the lecturer to request the two IP addresses.
The first IP address given will be used for the WAN links.
The second IP will be used for the LANs.
You need to reply with a confirmation e-mail once you have
received your allocated IP address.
Use VLSM to configure the given network LAN and the WAN
links.
VLSM must be used in the MOST efficient way to subnet the
LAN and the WAN links.
All the links between routers are WAN links.
Assessment is covered by 4 stages, each stage has various tasks
to complete.
Stage 1
of this assignment:

State the subnet mask
Choose an IP address for PC1(in LAN2), PC2(in LAN 6) and
default gateway.
The LOWEST IP addresses of each subnet should be given to
the two PCs.
The HIGHEST IP addresses of each subnet are given as the
default gateway.
Stage 2
of this assignment:
Configure the four routers.
Naming the routers as Router 1, Router 2, Router 3 and Router
4.
Setting the secret password as ‘class’ on all routers.

2. Configuring interfaces/PCs;
Configuring TELNET on the Router 3 with a password of
‘xyz123’ and (a suitable) MOTD;
Saving changes on the routers;
Verifying basic configuration and router operations;
Stage 3
of this assignment:
Ping from the PC1(in LAN2) to PC2(in LAN 6).
Stage 4
of this assignment (Routing Protocols configuration):

Rationale
The aim of this assignment is to evaluate your capabilities to:
- design a subnet plan for a small company network including
several routers and subnets;
- discuss routing problems that can occur in complex networks;
- correctly identify and discuss the functionality and limitations
of different devices used in computer networks;
- evaluate network performance;
- perform basic router configuration of security passwords and
interfaces;
- configure simple routing.
Marking criteria
- The assessment includes 2 sections. Total marks are 60. It will
contribute 30% of your overall mark for the subject.
- The length of the short-answer questions should be between

5. 200 and 500 words each.
- All sources of information need to be fully referenced as per
the APA referencing style. You have to reference the textbook
plus any additional material you have used in your answers. See
the CSU guide to APA at
