Lab 7.1 VLSM - devinziegler/Devin-Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

Assignment: Using the chart from Deliverable 1 create the network from scratch.

Problems Encountered:

Packets not Leaving Router:

  • I was able to fix this problem by updating the routing tables in both my routers. I initially had the routing tables in the wrong routers.

VLSM Calculations:

  • Start by making a list of networks based on network requirements.
  • Determine the subnet mask.
  • Make a table of addresses to verify VLSM configuration.

Static Router Commands:

Static routing allows for routes to be configured manually.

ip route <neighbor_network_address> <subnet> <next_hop_IP_address>

This command adds an entry to the routing table.

Tips and Tricks:

Make sure your router is compatible with your needs before configuration.

  • Getting a new router after already configuring everything on and old one sucks. Make sure you use the correct device.

Network Interface not showing up on router.

  • Turn Router off.
  • Add GLC-T module onto bottom right socket.
  • Turn on router and the interface should show up when wiring.
