Question 2. [22]

2.1 Following the construction of the SPF tree, the optimal pathways to each network are
presented to the IP routing table. The graphic below depicts the paths to each Router,
calculate the cost to each destination. [4]

Destination Shortest Path Cost


10.5.0.0/16 R1→R2 22
10.11.0.0/16 R1→R3→R4→R5 27

2.2 When an ACL is applied to an interface, a certain operational procedure is followed. List
and explain the operational procedures taken when traffic enters a router interface that is
configured with an inbound standard IPv4 ACL. [8]
 The router extracts the source IPv4 address from the packet header.
 The router starts at the top of the ACL and compares the source IPv4 address to each
ACE in a sequential order.
 When a match is made, the router carries out the instruction, either permitting or
denying the packet, and the remaining ACEs in the ACL, if any, are not analysed.
 If the source IPv4 address does not match any ACEs in the ACL, the packet is discarded
because there is an implicit deny ACE automatically applied to all ACLs.

2.3 To maintain routing information, OSPF routers complete a generic link-state routing
process to reach a state of convergence. In OSPF, cost is used to determine the best path to
the destination. List the five (5) link-state routing steps that are completed by a router.
[5]
 Establish Neighbor Adjacencies
 Exchange Link-State Advertisements
 Build the Link State Database
 Execute the SPF Algorithm
 Choose the Best Route
2.4 OSPF can be implemented in two ways: Draw a diagram of Single area OSPF
implementation. [5]

Question 3. [18]

3.1 Networks are commonly implemented using private IPv4 addresses, as defined in RFC
1918. The range of addresses included in RFC 1918 are included in the following table.
Complete the table below with IPV4 address space. [6]

Class RFC 1918 Internal Address Range Prefix


A 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 10.0.0.0/8
B 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 172.16.0.0/12
C 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 192.168.0.0/16

[4]
 Create adjacencies with neighbors
 Exchange routing information
 Calculate the best routes
 Reach convergence
3.2 Calculate the subnet mask and wildcard mask required to advertise the specified network
address in OSPF. [8]

Decimal Subnet Mask 255.255.240.0

Wildcard Mask 0.0.15.255

Network / Subnet / Host 192.168.200.128/20

Decimal Subnet Mask 255.255.240.0

Wildcard Mask 0.0.15.255
