Group work: You may choose to work in groups of no more than 4 members
Submission: Packet tracer project file complete with all startup config scripts.
In this assignment you will be designing and configuring a network for a university
environment, which has been allocated 123.45.0.0/16 IP address space. There are two
faculties namely Faculty of Computing and Software Engineering and Faculty of
Electrical Engineering. Each faculty has two subnets; staff subnet and student subnet.
Part 1
Divide the allocated address space between faculty subnets such that the staff subnet in
each faculty gets 256 IP addresses and the student subnet in each faculty gets 512 IP
addresses (inclusive of network and broadcast address). In other words, each faculty
gets 256 + 512 = 768 IP addresses. Be sure to avoid addressing conflicts with other
existing subnets such as subnet linking routers (Fig. 1)
Part 2
Construct the following network topology in packet tracer simulator. Ensure that all the
hostnames and network addresses are well labeled. Use Cisco 3725 routers.
