Objectives

Part 1: Calculate IPv4 Summary Routes

Determine the summary route for the HQ LANs.

Determine the summary route for the EAST LANs.

Determine the summary route for the WEST LANs.

Determine the summary route for the HQ, EAST, and WEST LANs.

Part 2: Calculate IPv6 Summary Routes

Determine the summary route for the HQ LANs.

Determine the summary route for the EAST LANs.

Determine the summary route for the WEST LANs.

Determine the summary route for the HQ, EAST, and WEST LANs.

Background / Scenario

Summary routes reduce the number of entries in routing tables and make the routing table
lookup process more efficient. This process also reduces the memory requirements for the
router. A single static route can be used to represent a few routes or thousands of routes.
In this lab, you will determine the summary routes for different subnets of a network. You will
then determine the summary route for the entire network. Summary routes will be determined
for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Because IPv6 uses hexadecimal (hex) values, you will be
required to convert hex to binary.

Required Resources

1 PC (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with Internet access)

Optional: calculator for converting hex and decimal to binary
