17.8.1 Lab - Design and Build a Small Network
Noblefranca
SECTION: BSIT - 2105
Objectives
Explain how a small network of directly connected segments is created, configured, and
verified.
Background /Scenario
● Your design must include a minimum of one Cisco 4321 router, two Cisco
2960 switches, and two PCs.
● Fully configure the network and use IPv4 or IPv6 (subnetting must be
included as a part of your addressing scheme).
● Verify the network using at least five show commands.
● Secure the network using SSH, secure passwords and console passwords
(minimum).
Create a rubric to use for informal peer grading. Present your Capstone Project to the
class and be able to answer questions from your peers and Instructor!
Reflection Questions
- The most difficult portion of this activity was ensuring the correct configuration of
the router and switches, particularly with regards to subnetting and IP
addressing. Configuring SSH and securing passwords was also a challenge for
me, as it required a clear understanding of both the security requirements and
the specific configuration commands.
2. Why do you think network documentation is so important to this activity and in the
real world?
Note: This rubric includes a total of 100 points for the points earned category (if
minimum standards are met). Instructors may wish to consider adding bonus points for
additional/advanced work in any requirement category.
Create a small network of directly connected segments, at a minimum 1 router, 2
switches and 2 PCs, and include a screenshot of the network in your final
documentation.
Configure the network to include switches, routers, and end devices and use your own
network addressing. You must use subnetting of some type and you can use either IPv4
or IPv6 logical addressing. Create a table showing your physical addressing scheme for
the router, switch, and PC and include it in your final documentation.
Verify the network by using show commands (at least 5) to provide a performance
baseline. Be able to discuss why you chose the show commands you selected and what
the output means (use all Packet Tracer activities for Chapters 1-17). Keep screenshots
of your output and include in your final documentation.

All facets of this activity map to IT-related content and real-world applications because
this is a culminating activity for all the Chapters.
