For now I will focus on lab 18 for doing the full CLI task,

While connecting DCE, be sure to connect R1 ISP first, which will be DCE, and R2 will be DTE.

Subnetting & Addressing plan (from 192.168.3.0/24)

For the requirements (two /27s for up to 28 hosts, a /28 for up to 14 hosts, a /28 for up to 7 hosts, and a point-to-point /30) we allocate:

  1. 1st subnet — existing Student LAN (up to 28 hosts) 192.168.3.0 /27 → mask 255.255.255.224 Usable: 192.168.3.1 .. 192.168.3.30 (broadcast .31)

  2. 2nd subnet — future Student LAN (up to 28 hosts, not used now) 192.168.3.32 /27 → usable .33 .. .62

  3. 3rd subnet — existing ISP LAN (up to 14 hosts) 192.168.3.64 /28 → mask 255.255.255.240 Usable: 192.168.3.65 .. 192.168.3.78 (broadcast .79)

  4. 4th subnet — future ISP LAN (up to 7 hosts, not used now) 192.168.3.80 /28 → usable .81 .. .94

  5. 5th subnet — existing WAN (point-to-point) 192.168.3.96 /30 → mask 255.255.255.252 Usable: 192.168.3.97 and 192.168.3.98 (broadcast .99)


Exact IP assignments (per your rules)

Existing Student LAN (192.168.3.0/27)

  • PC 1A (Fa0/1 on S1-Central): 192.168.3.1 mask 255.255.255.224
  • PC 1B (Fa0/2 on S1-Central): 192.168.3.2 mask 255.255.255.224
  • R2-Central Fa0/0 (gateway for student LAN) = highest usable = 192.168.3.30 mask 255.255.255.224
  • S1-Central management (VLAN1) = second-highest usable = 192.168.3.29 mask 255.255.255.224

Existing ISP LAN (192.168.3.64/28)

  • R1-ISP Fa0/0 = highest usable = 192.168.3.78 mask 255.255.255.240

  • Eagle_Server (server) = second-highest usable = 192.168.3.77 mask 255.255.255.240

    • Server default-gateway = 192.168.3.78

Existing WAN (192.168.3.96/30)

  • R2-Central S0/0/0 = lowest usable = 192.168.3.97 mask 255.255.255.252
  • R1-ISP S0/0/0 = highest usable = 192.168.3.98 mask 255.255.255.252

DNS server address (for PCs): 192.168.3.77 (the Eagle_Server)

And finally, the overral image is like,
