Analysis and Design of a Computer Network using Cisco Packet Tracer
Budget: ₹750 – ₹1,250 INR
Task 3.1: Analysis and Design of the Logical Network
In this task, the student will utilize the classless IP address computation techniques and the block IP address acquired from Task 2.1. Using this address, the student must complete a series of subnet calculations to design the logical network for the various subnets (A, B, C, D, E, F) provided in Table 1 of the coursework. This involves:
Determining the number of addresses for each subnet.
Identifying the First Host Address, Last Host Address, Broadcast Address, and Subnet Mask for each subnet.
Completing Table 2 for each subnet with the necessary network information, including the network address, bitmask, and host addresses.
Explaining the step-by-step procedure used for IP address calculations, applying methods like binary or AND/OR approaches for subnetting.
Following standard guidelines for IP addressing and subnetting, ensuring the design aligns with the given requirements and network constraints (number of devices in each subnet).
The design is crucial for understanding network architecture and addressing schemes to ensure that the network topology is functional and meets all technical requirements.
Task 4.1: Configure the Physical Topology
This task requires the student to implement the physical topology of the network based on the designed logical network. This involves:
Designing a network topology using Cisco Packet Tracer. All devices (routers, switches, hosts, and servers) listed in the coursework must be connected according to the logical design developed in Task 3.1.
Indicating the types of cables used for each connection between devices and subnets, such as router-to-switch, router-to-router, and host-to-router connections. This will be detailed in Table 3 of the report.
Saving the configuration as a Cisco Packet Tracer file named Network_uXXXXXXX.pkt, where uXXXXXXX is the student's unique ID number.
The physical topology ensures the proper connectivity and operation of all devices, and the cable types must be specified to highlight the practical aspects of the network setup. The student must ensure that the correct cables are used for specific connections (e.g., copper straight-through, copper crossover).
