With This IP address (154.78.0.0) in order to give my client 18 available Subnets also with an option of adding 6 more subnets for the next five years and with each subnet having up to 580 hosts per subnet. I have given this much thought and the subnet mask I would use is 255.255.252.0 this will give me 64 available subnets for growth along with 1,022 hosts per subnet I know that’s a little more than 580 hosts but in my mind having doubled that wouldn’t hurt. This will make my first host IP address be 154.78.0.1 and my last host address be 154.78.3.254 leaving 154.78.3.255 my broadcast address and 154.78.0.0 my network address. Indicate the steps and command that you would use to access and configure the router/switch.
Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interface
Steps | Command | Purpose |
1 | Router>enable | EXEC Mode, Privileged/pswd |
2 | Router# configure terminal | global configuration mode |
3 | Router# show ip interface brief | brief status of the interfaces that are configured for IP |
4 | Router(config)# interface fastethernet Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet | Specifies the Ethernet interface and enters interface configuration mode.(for interface numbering it will be in router guide that was shipped with your router) |
5 | Router(config-if)# ip address154.78.00 - 255.255.252.0 | Sets a primary IP address for an interface |
6 | Router(config)# end | Returns me to EXEC |
7 | Router# show ip interface brief | Verify that the Ethernet interfaces |
Specifying a Default Route or Gateway
Steps | Command | Purpose |
1 | Router> enable | EXEC |
2 | Router# configure terminal | GCM |
3 | Router(config)# ip routing | Enables IP routing |
4 | Router(config)# ip route 154.78.0.1 255.255.252.0 154.78.0.0 | Establishes a route |
