Assignment:

  1. Today 7th hour will use the concepts discussed in the last couple of weeks by configuring our own routers. 5th hour will conduct this activity next week.
  2. The class will be divided into two teams, each of which will be assigned a router, a 24-port switch, and a workstation, and a communal collection of network and power cabling.
  3. Both teams will be tasked with configuring their router to form two interconnected subnetworks, each supporting 24 hosts. Team 1’s network will be supplied Internet access from the school’s gateway. Team 2’s subnetwork will be required to receive Internet access from its connection with Team 1’s router.
  4. Each team will have to work together to correctly configure its router, but both teams will have to work together to form the links between the two networks.
  5. Use all the materials we have studied and the links I have provided above to set up and configure the network to the required specifications!
