Scenario
In this Skills Based Assessment students will create a small network that requires connecting network devices
and configuring host computers and one Cisco router for basic network connectivity. Switch1 has a default
configuration, and does not require additional configuration. Common utility commands will be used to test and
document the network.
Task 1: Design the Logical LAN Topology. (18 Points / Time – 40 Minutes)
Given two IP addresses and masks of 192.168.25.0/24 and 192.168.35.0/24 (address / mask), design an IP
addressing scheme that satisfies the following requirements:
Subnet
Subnet A
Subnet B
Network
192.168.25.0/24
192.168.35.0/24
Number of Hosts
28
20
Host computers will use the FIRST IP address in the subnet. The router port(s) will use the LAST network host
address in each subnet.
Subnet A (6 Points)
Specification
Total number of bits in the network portion
IP mask (binary)
IP mask (decimal)

Task 4: Verify network connectivity. (Total 8 Points / Time – 30 Minutes)
Task 4 - Step 1: Use the ping command to verify network connectivity.
Network connectivity can be verified with the ping command.
Use the following table to methodically verify connectivity with each network device. Take corrective action to
establish connectivity if a test fails:
