Project 3: Local Area Networking – Enabling VLANs & Trunks
Description:
In this assignment, you will install and configure two Layer 2 switches, enable VLANs for increased security, and inter-
switch trunks for (redundancy/resiliency). You will add PCs to each VLAN to test and demonstrate connectivity.
You will use troubleshooting commands to identify informational items to aid in the troubleshooting process.
• Use the CLI (Command Line Interface) to complete networking device configurations.
• Use the ‘IP Configuration’ tab to configure the PC networking interfaces.
• Use the ‘Command prompt’ to execute troubleshooting commands.

Project 4 - Complete and submit your work
SAVE your Packet Tracer file as follows:
SUBMIT the completed packet tracer file as a ZIPPED file to the assignment page in the digital classroom.
Description:
In this project, you will apply address and subnetting concepts to redesign the network address scheme. This project
demonstrates efficiency in address assignment, additional efficiency in router interface requirements, and continues to
reinforce skills in the router and switch configuration process. You use the subnetting worksheet Packet Tracer Custom
Address plan template to complete the planning for this project. Your planning will include planning for future growth,
including wireless and additional remote sites.
Project 5 - Instructions:
Design a new custom subnet plan as follows:
Page 14 of 33
1. Create a new custom subnet plan from a single Class C private address range and the instructor assigned octet.
(192.168.yy.0).
(i.e., Instructor's network is 192.168.200.0: The starting network ID is 192.168.200.0)
• The custom subnet plan must:
Use the Topic 5 Subnetting activity, the Subnet Address calculator tool(s), to complete the Assignment Guide Appendix B
‘Packet Tracer Projects’ template.
Load the Project 2 packet tracer file, save the file with a new name.
1. Apply the custom address plan elements to each device and router interface.
• You may add new VLANs and use the default VLAN as needed, but be sure to adjust your trunk rules
accordingly.
• You may identify each department with a single PC, but it must be correctly addressed in the assigned
subnet, VLAN, and include its correct default gateway.
• You must add gateways to support each subnet as required.
• You may do so by adding additional ethernet interfaces to the router and consuming individual switchports.
• Update your static routing entries to reflect the new custom subnet addressing.
Page 15 of 33
• Apply custom addressing to each PC according to the VLAN each is assigned to.
o Be sure to use an appropriate IP address from the range.
o Be sure to apply the correct subnet mask.
o Be sure to update the default gateway settings for each device to refer to the appropriate
gateway for its subnet.
Are you able to ping each site, and each device in each subnet?
HINT: Apply troubleshooting techniques to isolate the issues if there are any.
i.e., fflinstone-ITT116TR100A-project-5-address-pal.doc
COMBINE your custom address plan WITH your Packet tracer file into a SINGLE ZIP file:
ZIP the file – keep the name intact.
i.e., fflintstone-itt116TR100A-project-5.zip
SUBMIT the combined packet tracer and document as a ZIPPED file to the assignment page in the digital classroom.

Project 6: Wireless Networking, Enable DHCP services.
Description:
In this project, you will add wireless capability to your packet tracer network. You will add a Server and enable DHCP
services to support automatic addressing on the wireless devices. Use the Packet Tracer Custom Addressing plan created
in Project 3 to complete portions of this activity.
Load your Project 3 packet tracer file, save the file with a new name:
Project 6 - Instructions:
2. Configure an IP address and default gateway using an available address from the subnet you assigned to VLAN 1.
Page 17 of 33
Add DHCP Services.
Using the subnet you designated for Main Office Wireless, add a new DHCP scope:
• Limit the DHCP range (Maximum Users) as needed to the number of addresses available in the subnet minus
1.
• Set the default gateway for the subnet.
(Remember, this is the default gateway for the subnet/vlan, so pick an appropriate address from your
planning template. You will use this address again to configure the router.)
• Name the new scope ‘Main-WiFi’ and use the ADD button to save it.
Page 18 of 33
Figure 14 Example Wireless DHCP Scope
• CONNECT Gigabit 6/0 on main router to Gigabit6/1 on Switch-01 using an appropriate cable.
• CONNECT Gigabit 7/0 on main router Gigabit7/1 on Switch-01.
Page 19 of 33
Add a Wireless network:
11. Add a Wireless Access point to the main office. (See Appendix A: Sample Devices.)
12. ADD two laptops with wireless adapters to the main office.
• Verify that each laptop receives an IP address from the DHCP pool assigned to your wireless subnet.
• Verify that each laptop is able to ping other devices on the network.
• Hint: VLAN 20 consists of three ports. If you encounter problems testing your work, consider adding a PC
configured with a static address from VLAN 20 to verify connectivity to other VLANs.
• You may need to update static routing in the remote office.
