FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY
A. OVERVIEW
1. Learning objective
The learning objective of this lab is to get familiar with network devices, how they
work together, and the concepts of routing. Moreover, students may practice on
physical networking devices or simulation networking applications such as Cisco
Packet Tracer. This lab will cover the following topics:
1. Introduction to popular networking devices
2. How to configure networking devices
3. The routing concepts and static routing
2. Practice Environment
a) Netacad account
Students need an account at https://www.netacad.com/ to download
necessary resources and use applications released by Cisco. It’s free to create
a new account here.

b) Cisco Packet Tracer
Packet Tracer is a simulation, visualization, and collaboration tool for learning
networking. It allows students to construct their own model or virtual
networks, obtain access to important graphical representations of those
networks, animate those networks by adding their data packets, and finally
annotate and save their creations.
Download the newest version of Packet Tracer at
https://skillsforall.com/resources/lab-downloads. Furthermore, you may
enroll in the “Getting Started with Cisco Packet Tracer course” at
https://skillsforall.com/topics/cisco-packet-tracer to familiarize yourself with
the usage of the Packet Tracer Tool under the instruction of Cisco Academy.

B. LAB TASKS
1. Router and routing concepts
Before practice, let’s find the answer to the following questions:
a. What are Routers?
b. What is static routing? Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages
of static routing.
2. Basic router configuration and static routing
Given the network topology and the IP table

Table 1: The IP Address for devices on task 2
Requirements: You are given the network topology as shown in the Figure 1.
1. Building the network topology as
2. Set the hostname for all devices.
3. On Router, set the password uitcisco for the privileged mode, the user
EXEC mode, and Telnet remote access. You should use the encrypted
password for security.
4. Set Banner Motd as “Warning: Authorized Access Only on Router Rx” (Rx is
the name of Router) for all Routes.
5. Assign the IP address for all necessary interfaces of devices.
6. Configuring the static routing in all routers so that all devices can
communicate with each other.
Please note that you should frequently save the Running-configuration to the Startup-
configuration in case of unexpected device rebooting.
3. Subnetting and static routing

Your company needs to set up the network infrastructure as shown in the topology
in Figure 2. You need to split the network 172.(16+(X%16)).0.0/16 (X is your group
id) into suitable subnets using VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Mask) method.
For example, group 13 will use the network 172.29.0.0/16 for subnetting.
Requirements:
1. Subnetting the given network address for your group and filling the result
in Table 2.
2. Basic configure:
§ Set the hostname for devices.
§ Set the password uitcisco on all routers for privileged EXEC, user
EXEC, and Telnet remote access.
§ Set the Banner motd for all routers: “Warning: Authorized Access Only
on Router X”
3. Assign the IP address to routers’ interfaces. In all LAN zone, the first IP
address of the subnet will assign to the router’s interface, and the others to
PCs or Servers. You need to fill out this information in Table 3
4. All routers need to configure static routing. So that all devices can
communicate with each other.
5. Configure the redundancy route on appropriate routers so that Router 1
and Router 3 can communicate with each other in case the direct link
between Router 1 and Router 3 fails. You can use the floating static route
to achieve this goal.
Note:
§ You should copy Running-configuration to Startup-configuration before
shutdown or close network topology on Packet Tracer Tool to avoid losing
your configuration.
§ Remember to include the topology file (.PKT) in your submission.

§ When it comes to programming tasks (require you to write an application or
script), please attach all source-code and executable files (if any) in your
submission. Please also list the important code snippets followed by
explanations and screenshots when running your application in your
report. Simply attaching code without any explanation will not receive
points.
§ Submit work you are proud of – don’t be sloppy and lazy!
Your submissions must be your own. You are free to discuss with other
classmates to find the solution. However, copying reports is prohibited,
even if only a part of your report. Both reports of the owner and the copier
will be rejected. Please remember to cite any source of the material
(website, book,…) that influences your solution.
Notice: Combine your lab report and all related files into a single ZIP file (.zip),
name it as follow:
