Question 3 (19 marks)
This question allows you to demonstrate your understanding of the different number bases associated with CCNA1. In order to obtain the full mark you must provide the details. You might use a calculator to check that your answers are correct, however it will be very useful for you to be able to manipulate these numbers without the use of a calculator as the calculator Is not allowed in the Cisco final exam nor in the MTA or Final exam.

a. Convert each of the following binary numbers (in dotted binary form) to dotted decimal as shown in IP addressing chapter 8. You must show the details of the conversion of each number. (3.75 marks)

• 11000000.10101010.11101001.00010001
Note: marks will be allocated for the steps and details of the conversion for all the bytes; if you just provide the final result without the steps and details you will only be awarded 1 mark for the this question.

b. Convert the following dotted decimal numbers to dotted binary form as shown in IP addressing chapter 8. You must show the details of the conversion of each number.
(3.75 marks)

• 207.101.19.33
Note: marks will be allocated for the steps and details of the conversion for all the bytes; if you just provide the final result without the steps and details you will only be awarded 1 mark for the this question.
Note2: the byte should always be presented in 8 bits even if it starts with one or more "0"
(zero).

c. Find the decimal result of ANDing the two decimal numbers as shown in IP addressing chapter 8. The decimal/binary conversion need to be shown; remember to show your working for the ANDing function.(2.5 marks)

• 177 AND 232

Note2: the final result should be expressed in decimal.


d. Convert following hexadecimal number to decimal number as shown in IP addressing chapter 8. Remember that you should convert from hexadecimal to binary then from binary to decimal. You must show the details. (2.5 marks)

• 9C
Note: most of the marks will be allocated for the steps and details of calculation; if you just provide the final result without the steps and details you will only be awarded 0.75 marks for the this question.
Note2: the final result should be expressed in decimal.

e. Convert following decimal number to hexadecimal number as shown in IP addressing chapter 8. Remember that you should convert from decimal to binary then from binary to hexadecimal. You must show the details. (2.5 marks)

• 210
Note: most of the marks will be allocated for the steps and details of calculation; if you just provide the final result without the steps and details you will only be awarded 0.75 marks for the this question.

Subnet the following IPv6 network (2001:AOU:216A:FFFF:/64) in order to have at least 9 networks; remember that you should submit on nibble boundaries ( a nibble is 4 bits)
Note: List the new subnets with their new prefix
 

Question 4 (16 marks)

This question covers subnetting networks covered in chapters8 “IP addressing” & 9 “Subnetting IP network”

a. Figure A shows the design of a network that is going to be implemented.(14 marks)




The details of the topology of the network are as follows:
• Net 1 LAN “Employee LAN”: has 30 PCs and 30 VoIP phones connected to 3 Switches*.
• Net 2 LAN “Server Farm LAN”: has 10 Servers connected to 1 Switch*.
• Net 3 LAN:“Admin LAN”: has 25 PCs and 3 Network printers connected to 1 Switch*.
• Net 4 LAN “Freelance LAN”: can accommodate at the same time up to 12 Laptops and 12 wireless devices connected to 1 access point*.
• Net 5 LAN “Wireless network”: can accommodate at the same time up to 20 Smart devices connected to 1 access point*
• Net 6 WAN: router 1 “R1” is directly connected to router 4 “R4”.
• Net 7 WAN: router 1 “R1” is directly connected to router 2 “R2”.
• Net 8 WAN: router 1 “R1” is directly connected to router 3 “R3”.

* the switches and access points should be accessed remotely.

Subnet the address block 180.18.0.0/23 as appropriate to provide an efficient use of the addresses but at the same time providing sufficient addresses for all groups and links. Before you start determining the number of hosts for each network, please read the “Important Notes” section here after.

Design an addressing scheme for the company by completing a copy of Table 1.
You should complete one row for each different LAN/WAN links and use 180.18.0.0/23 as your starting address. You should use subnet 0.

Important Notes:
• An IP address should be assigned to each switch in order to be able to configure/access it remotely.
• An IP address should be assigned to the access point in order to be able to configure/access it remotely.
• Your choices should make the most economical use of the address range
• You are not expected to send in a packet tracer file or to simulate the network in any way. You just need to copy and complete Table 1
• You can change the order to the Name of the LAN/WAN in table 1

Name of LAN/WAN Network (subnet) address Address range Broadcast address Subnet mask
Net 1
Net 2
Net 3
Net 4
Net 5
Net 6
Net 7
Net 8
Table 1 to be completed

b. From the address block 180.18.0.0/23 used in part a list all the unused subnets. (2 marks)

Question 5 (17 marks)

This question allows you to demonstrate your ability to program a network of Cisco switches using packet tracer. The Packet tracer file for this question is T216AFA15TMA01Q5.pkt will be found on the AOULMS (Moodle).

Configuration
Configure your network as shown in figure B using (Command Line Interface) instructions. Your configuration should be complete as possible.


Note1: the Packet Tracer file should be returned to a special forum which will be specified by your tutor.
Note2: the packet tracer “configuration function” has been disabled so you will have to configure the routers through the CLI as if you were accessing them via the console interface or via telnet.
Note3: do not forget to save the running configuration to the start-up configuration
