Packet Tracer Exercise - Network Design
Packet Tracer Exercise - Network Design
Exercise Scenario:
You are network administrators for a new office and need to design an internal network that
allows computers and other devices to communicate with each other. The network should be
divided into several subnets for management and maintenance purposes, and all equipment
needs to be connected in a structured way to allow communication between all PCs.
Your task is to design and implement the following network:
1. Device Connections:
● Create a connection between Router 1 and Switch 1 and Switch 2.
● Create a connection between Router 2 and Switch 3 and Switch 4.
● Each Switch should be connected to one PC only.
2. IP Addressing:
● Choose a base network.
● You must divide the network into 5 subnets to meet the following requirements:
● 4 subnets for connections between the Switches and Routers (each Switch will
connect to a PC and a Router).
● Each subnet must provide at least 25 usable IP addresses.
● 1 subnet for the WAN connection between the two Routers, requiring 2 usable IP
addresses.
3. IP Configuration:
● You need to assign an IP address and Subnet Mask to each device.
● Hint:
o Routers: Each router will get an appropriate IP address for each connected
interface.
o Switches: Each switch will receive an IP address from its assigned subnet.
o PCs: Each PC should be configured with an IP address and the Default
Gateway (the router’s IP it is connected to).
GOOD LUCK! 😊
