IFT 266 Introduction to Network Information Communication Technology (ICT) Lab 46 Using VLSM in Designing a Network

Setup the following routers as demonstrated below (Use the Serial Ports between the routers) You will need to add additional modules to the router i.e. HWIC-2T and HWIC-4ESW 2. Add the following switches along with the labels for hosts needed. 3. How many total usable hosts does our IP have available before we use VLSM to design our layout? What is the default subnet mask? How many separate subnets are needed in the above topology? 4. In VLSM you must first identify the subnet requiring the largest allotment of IP addresses. List the subnets by hosts from largest to smallest. 5. Assign the subnet masks required for each subnet. 6. Open the IFT Class/ Lab Router CLI. Make sure you know the interface for both the Labs and Classroom subnets on the router. 7. You should see a change in your topology.
