Lab 6-3 - Classful Subnetting

Objective

• We will use Packet Tracer to Model our /27 networks from scratch (no starter file). We will introduce how to add a new module to your router as well as use both serial links and RIP to allow routers to communicate their routes with one another.

Goals

• Use packet tracer to demonstrate how networks of a /27 and /30 work together.

Summary

In this lab, I made a network and followed the constraints of /27 and /30 grouping to configure how many IPs each subnet needed as well as how that works with sub masking. As well as configuring how the routers to connect with each and implementing the serial connection. The main part was correctly configuring the subnet mask of /27 (255.255.255.224) with it having 32 useable IP addresses but reserving 2 for the network and broadcast IP addresses. Therefore leaving 30 usable host addresses. For /30, it has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 with 4 useable IP addresses meaning two host addresses, this was used for the serial connection for the routers because they only need to know where one another are on that single connection. There weren't any explicit problems, just making sure the whole network was implemented correctly.
