IPv4 Addressing and Subnetting Configuration with Two Switches
Lab Objective:
To configure and verify IPv4 addressing and subnetting on a network with one router, two switches, and two PCs.
In this lab I will introduce you to basic IPv4 address configuration and subnetting on a Cisco Router 4300 device. Every interface on the router will be connected to a network for sending and receiving traffic must have an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Each IP address on the Router must belong to a different network subnet from the other IP addresses on the same Router. Each PC connected to a switch will be part of a network and the default gateway IP for each PC will be the IP address of the corresponding router interface. Lab Topology:
2 Equipment Required:
- 1x Cisco Router
- 2x Cisco Switches (2960)
- 2x PCs with ethernet interface
- Console Cable - Ethernet Cable
- Computer with Terminal emulation software e.g. PuTTY
