1-6 Packet Tracer 3 Lab VLSM 2 Copyright 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc.Дў Step 1. It is recommended that you become familiar with the basic features of Packet Tracer prior to starting this lab by running the tutorials found under the Help menu option in Packet Tracer. All other cloud functions are identical to router functions. The cloud provides the DCE clocking for each of its border interfaces by default. Each border is a WAN port that has an IP address. A Cloud simulated with Packet Tracer has multiple borders. The routing table associates a network (network ID and subnet mask or network bits) to the port that is closest to the network. RIP keeps a routing table of remote networks. A router advertises all networks that its ports belong to, which is specified by the IP address and subnet mask. Routers simulated with Packet Tracer use RIP version 2 to find routes to remote networks automatically. You will apply the addresses to the routers and workstations in the simulated network and then test to ensure that it works. To accomplish this you will develop an IP addressing scheme using Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) to allocate IP addresses to the LANs and WAN links in the network. The service provider has assigned a portion of a class B network address (1,024 addresses) to work with and must make the best use of the address space while minimizing wasted addresses. You will configure IP addresses to the border routers represented by the cloud. The connection will be made through a Cloud representing an ISP / Internet network connection at each site. 1 Packet Tracer 3 Lab VLSM 2 Objective Create a simulated network topology using Packet Tracer Design an IP addressing scheme using a Class B subnetwork address and VLSM Apply IP addresses to the routers and workstations in the simulation Test the simulated topology to verify IP connectivity Background / Preparation You are responsible for designing a network that connects 3 geographically separated sites, each with its own LAN, to the corporate headquarters for access to the Web Server.
