CCNA Exploration: Routing Protocols and Concepts Case Study

IP Addressing & Router Configuration

Phase I
The Carl I. Samson Company of Bangor, Maine is expanding its operations by opening two new
offices, one in Phoenix and one in Chicago. They want to keep web services and Internet access
at the Bangor office, but move tech support to Chicago. The network administrator also needs to
ensure security on their network by isolating certain parts of the business to their own LAN
segments.

C.I.S. Co (how industry insiders refer to the company) will be changing its IP addressing scheme to
use part of a Class-B IP address (169.254.40.0 / 21) to manage the approximately 600 computers
it could eventually have. No individual LAN segment currently has more than 100 computers, but
the company wants to allow for the possibility of doubling the number of users in each office.

Routers and a new IP addressing scheme allowing each of the locations to have its own subnetwork
will be implemented. There is only one connection point to the outside world through the Bangor
router. Any IP traffic whose destination is outside of the IP addresses for the company will be sent
out through this router to their Internet provider.

The attached diagram of the network will help in setting up the new IP addressing. Create a list of
the new subnets, the range of host addresses that could be assigned within each subnet and the
new subnet mask that will be used inside the network.

Phase II
Each network segment must be in its own unique subnet. Assign the IP subnets to the diagram
using the ranges of addresses that have been created above.

Once the networks have been assigned, create a sample network interface configuration for a
workstation on the Ethernet LANs for Phoenix and Bangor.

NOTE: To insure that the IP addressing scheme you have chosen will work for the rest of
the project, obtain verification of your addresses before proceeding.

Phase III
Using Packet Tracer, create the network and configure the router interfaces, IP host tables,
passwords, banners, descriptions, hostnames and the routing protocol of your choice. Begin
documentation by capturing the output from ‘show run’ and ‘show ip route’. Configure the
workstations and printers with IP addresses and verify connectivity throughout the entire network.

Phase IV

Prepare final network documentation that at a minimum should include a cover sheet, running
configs, ip routes, ip protocols and CDP neighbors.

Create a narrative describing the project in your own words. If working in a team, summarize what
each team member contributed to the project. Create a title page and final written copy of the
project.

Final
Create a 10-minute presentation as you would for a report to the Vice President of the company.
This should be done using PowerPoint, Visio, Word or another software package that allows
projection using a VGA projector. A copy of the presentation should be available for the instructor.
