AIM:
Demonstrate class full addressing and variable length subnetting using packet
tracer
Objectives
Part 1: Design an IPv4 Network Subnetting Scheme
Part 2: Configure the Devices
Part 3: Test and Troubleshoot the Network
Background / Scenario
In this activity, you will subnet the Customer network into multiple subnets. The subnet scheme should be
based on the number of host computers required in each subnet, as well as other network considerations, like
future network host expansion.
After you have created a subnetting scheme and completed the table by filling in the missing host and
interface IP addresses, you will configure the host PCs, switches and router interfaces.
After the network devices and host PCs have been configured, you will use the ping command to test for
network connectivity.

Packet Tracer – Subnet an IPv4 Network
Instructions Part 1: Subnet the Assigned Network
Step 1: Create a subnetting scheme that meets the required number of subnets and
required number of host addresses.
In this scenario, you are a network technician assigned to install a new network for a customer. You must
create multiple subnets out of the 192.168.0.0/24 network address space to meet the following
requirements: a. The first subnet is the LAN-A network. You need a minimum of 50 host IP addresses.
b. The second subnet is the LAN-B network. You need a minimum of 40 host IP addresses.
c. You also need at least two additional unused subnets for future network expansion.
Note: Variable length subnet masks will not be used. All of the device subnet masks should be the same
length.
d. Answer the following questions to help create a subnetting scheme that meets the stated network
requirements:
Questions:
How many host addresses are needed in the largest required subnet?
50
What is the minimum number of subnets required?
Given each of the possible subnet masks depicted in the following binary format, how many subnets and
how many hosts are created in each example?
Hint: Remember that the number of host bits (to the power of 2) defines the number of hosts per subnet
(minus 2), and the number of subnet bits (to the power of two) defines the number of subnets. The subnet
bits (shown in bold) are the bits that have been borrowed beyond the original network mask of /24. The /
24 is the prefix notation and corresponds to a dotted decimal mask of 255.255.255.0.

Considering your answers above, which subnet masks meet the required number of minimum host
addresses?
/25 & /26
Considering your answers above, which subnet masks meets the minimum number of subnets
required?
/26 , /27 , /28 , /29 & /30
Considering your answers above, which subnet mask meets both the required minimum number of hosts and
the minimum number of subnets required?
/26
When you have determined which subnet mask meets all of the stated network requirements, derive
each of the subnets. List the subnets from first to last in the table. Remember that the first subnet is
192.168.0.0 with the chosen subnet mask.

3) Use the last host address for PC-A. Make sure to assign a default gateway address for the PC. b.
Assign the second subnet to LAN-B.
1) Use the first host address for the CustomerRouter interface connected to LAN-B switch.
2) Use the second host address for the LAN-B switch. Make sure to assign a default gateway address
for the switch.
3) Use the last host address for PC-B. Make sure to assign a default gateway address for the PC.
yes
b. Determine if PC-B can communicate with its default gateway. Do you get a reply?
Type our an yes swe here.
c. Determine if PC-A can communicate with PC-B. Do you get a reply?
Type your ans yes we
If you answered !no” to any of the preceding questions, then you should go back and check your IP address
and subnet mask configurations, and ensure that the default gateways have been correctly configured on
PCA and PC-B.
