Assignment - Computation and allocation of IP addresses to devices in a computer network then design and simulation of network using Cisco Packet Tracer
Learning outcome 1: Explain the main features of Internet protocols and the significance of network models such as the TCP/IP model. Thinking skills
Learning outcome 2: Critically distinguish between a range of switching, mul-tiple access and transmission techniques used in com-munication networks (COI).
Learning outcome 3: Write scripts for network configuration (DP).Skills for life and work (general skills)
Learning outcome 4: Conduct a critical review of current research in networks a group presentation.
Coursework: "Computation and allocation of IP addresses to devices in a computer network (based on a given block address). Design, implementation and simulation of the network using Cisco Packet Tracer software
Activities to be carried out in the Coursework
Use the Cisco Packet Tracer and the information below to analyse and create a small network. This requires connecting the network devices given below and configuring the active nodes (i.e. host computers, routers etc.) to form network connectivity.
The given devices are listed below with the subnet details in Table 1:
Cisco Routers
Cisco Switches
Computers (hosts), see Table 1
Servers
Connecting cables, see
Analysis and Design of the Logical Network
Compute and determine the Network Address, Address Mask, Sub- netting and other addresses in Table 2 using the lecture material and information from the recommended textbook as a guide.
Task 1: - Using the classless IP address computation techniques and block IP address and mask xxx.xx.xx.0/25 (address / mask) you obtained from Task 2.1.0 perform the following tasks:
Determine the number of addresses in the network
Last Host Address, the Broadcast and the Bit mask etc.
Complete Table 2 below for each subnet class A, B, and C.
Conduct the above calculation for your IP addresses and design an IP address scheme that satisfies the requirements in Table 1 above.
Show the step by step procedure you used to complete Table 2 below.
Hints: - for the classless computation use either the binary or AND/OR approach or any other method in the recommended textbook/lectures.
Students are required to show and explain steps used for IP calculation.
For the sub-netting computation use the technique in the recommended textbook or any acceptable method but explain the procedure used.
Task 4
4. Configure the Physical Topology
Use ALL the above devices and design a network topology. The network topology must be drawn and developed in the Cisco Packet Tracer Software andsaved as Network_uXXXXXXX.pkt - where uXXXXXXX is your student no.
Indicate the types of cables you used for each connection between devices and subnets in your network (example: Host1- Router: name of the cable). This question should be answered in the Table 3 below:
Configure the Logical Topology
From the IP address Information recorded in Table 2, write down the IP address information for each computer or Host listed in Table 4 below:
:- Complete the Table 4 below for Network B
Use the Table 4 below as a guide to create and complete similar tables for Network C.
