Build the network shown on packet tracer and document each of the steps, with screen shots in a word document.

Each step should be clearly marked/numbered in your Microsoft Word report.

Step 1: Network Topology (15%)

a. Build the network as shown

using packet tracer.

b. Subnet your allocated IP

address range, for each of the 3

networks, using fixed size sub

netting.

Step 2: Configure an IP address

on PC-A and PC-C (5%).

a. Select a suitable IP Address and

mask for your PCs

b. Assign the IP address and

subnet mask to the PC in

windows.

Step 3: Configure basic router settings (20%).

a. Connect to your building router using the CLI and set hostnames as your student number (b123456_R1)

b. Configure suitable IP Addresses on your routers interfaces.

c.

Test connectivity on each individual link using the PING command to show that each interface has an IP

Address and is correctly configured./nStep 4: Configure OSPF router settings (20%).

a. Enable OSPF routing protocol on building router (see lab sheet 7)

b. Advertise your directly connected networks to the building router (see lab sheet 7)

c. Demonstrate that your building router is now neighbors with the campus router. (see lab sheet 7)

Step 5: Test end-to-end connectivity (10%).

Verify using ping at the command prompt that the two end PCs can communicate across the network.

MECH 3019 Part Time Assignment March 2023

Step 6: Reflection (30%)

a) Explain why routing needs to be configured on both the routers? What problem is it solving?

b) Explain the benefits of OSPF over Static Routing?

c) Explain how redundancy could be added to this network, what would need to be modified.
