I'm a newbie when it comes to Networking. I just started a course and my CCNA study guide didn't not come with the CDs for me to do my lab. So I'm using Edraw Max (trial Version) to complete this assignment. If anyone can just guide me or help me out with this please:

Assignment:
You have been hired to set up a network that includes two LANs. You have two switches, two routers, and several hosts (you can limit yourself to one host for each LAN for the sake of simplicity when diagramming). Your job is to plan the IP addresses, subnet mask, default gateways, and IP addresses for these LANs as you connect them together with the routers.

You have the network address of 172.16.0.0. Please choose your subnet mask and subnet addresses.

The first step is to make a diagram of your network. Please include the following information on your diagram:

1. The overall network address and subnet mask.
2. Graphics with subtitles for each router, switch, and host.
3. Lines or lightening bolts to represent each circuit.
4. The network address for each subnet.
5. The IP address for each router interface
6. The IP addresses and default gateways for each host.

Thanks in advance for everything I am currently looking at tutorials online and my book to at least get me started.

So this is what I came up with can anyone tell me what I need to add or take out please?

New Concept I did please let me know if I'm going down the wrong road here please thanks.

you can't have everything on the same network*,
define your broadcast domains to determine networks

* Unless of course you have public IP addresses for your circuits, and are NATing on those routers.

I would suggest getting rid of the internet cloud, putting in a router there instead and making the
necessary networks for the two LANs to communicate between the newly placed router.

or even make it simpler, have 2 LANs connected through 1 router.

Hi I need to use two routers as the question told me too...here's the question again:

You have been hired to set up a network that includes two LANs. You have two switches, two routers, and several hosts (you can limit yourself to one host for each LAN for the sake of simplicity when diagramming). Your job is to plan the IP addresses, subnet mask, default gateways, and IP addresses for these LANs as you connect them together with the routers.

You have the network address of 172.16.0.0. Please choose your subnet mask and subnet addresses.

ok then, simply connect the two routers together

0-0

and work from there.

So do I need to get rid of the cloud still?

Everything lives in the cloud!

So am I write with this network...as to what the question is asking for?

You need to create a subnet for each site - split the network in half and assign one set of addresses to site 1 and the other set to site 2.

Think - "2 subnets, decide on netmask, then range of addresses for each subnet, then assign addresses from each subnet."

Ok I did as you said is this right now? According to the question in my first original post? I did the subnet mask in /17as 255.255.128.0 I hope I got it right this time.

<Created by Trial Version>You need a network between the routers if your going to directly connect them<Created by Trial Version>. The cloud can stay but you <Created by Trial Version> need a WAN technology like... frame relay is what they give you in CCNA?<Created by Trial Version>

Edit:<Created by Trial Version>Be sure to use a <Created by Trial Version> /30 subnet mask for <Created by Trial Version> network with 2 <Created by Trial Version>ips

This is all Im seeing: "<Created by Trial Version>You need a network between the routers if your going to directly connect them<Created by Trial Version>. The cloud can stay but you <Created by Trial Version> need a WAN technology like... frame relay is what they give you in CCNA?<Created by Trial Version>

Edit:<Created by Trial Version>Be sure to use a <Created by Trial Version> /30 subnet mask for <Created by Trial Version> network with 2 <Created by Trial Version>ips"

In other words Im lost I cannot follow what you are saying?

just pickin

You need a network between your routers. Typically a /30 subnet is best practice.

Or you could have kept the cloud if you connected them with a WAN technology like frame relay.

this is what I need to do though based on the question:

You have been hired to set up a network that includes two LANs. You have two switches, two routers, and several hosts (you can limit yourself to one host for each LAN for the sake of simplicity when diagramming). Your job is to plan the IP addresses, subnet mask, default gateways, and IP addresses for these LANs as you connect them together with the routers.

You have the network address of 172.16.0.0. Please choose your subnet mask and subnet addresses.

The first step is to make a diagram of your network. Please include the following information on your diagram:

1. The overall network address and subnet mask.
2. Graphics with subtitles for each router, switch, and host.
3. Lines or lightening bolts to represent each circuit.
4. The network address for each subnet.
5. The IP address for each router interface
6. The IP addresses and default gateways for each host.

is my diagram right?

yer gittin there, but you saved no IP space for your WAN link.

Im not following the question told me to do a LAN not a WAN...so what do I need to do ?

Several things you need to address that are missing or incorrect.

1) The link between the two routers needs to have its own subnet since both interfaces are routed interfaces.
2) your host have a gateway address of .10 but that address is not on the diagram anywhere. You want your gateway to be the address of the device that will handle all routing between subnets and vlans.

Ok I think I did it right this time please advise if not. Thanks.

Close.

Routers are not allowed to have multiple interfaces on the same subnet. Your link between routers shares the same subnet as the Router A LAN side. Also your subnet mask are way to big. Stick with the standard /24 for lan and a /30 or /31 for the router PTP link.

Also you didnt address the Gateway issue for your host.
