Use Packet Tracerto place three routers and three switches onto the workspace.
Create the physical cable linkage by redundantly connecting three serial links between the routers. (Each router will have two serial links, one for each of the other two routers.)
Select, place, and physically connect three switches, two for each of the router's- to the router's respective Fast Ethernet interfaces. Label the cables (Cat5 straight or serial crossover).
Select and place a combination of laptop and workstations onto the topology, one host per switch, and connect each to its respective switch.
Use private IP network 172.22.0.0/16 to create your subnets derived using your own original scheme with the following guidelines.
IP addresses should be labeled for each router interface on your workspace topology, both serial and Fast Ethernet interfaces. All IP addressing will use VLSM to waste as few addresses as possible. CIDR notation is permitted in lieu of the subnet mask on your labels.
Serial links should support two hosts, one for each end.
The two Ethernet networks on each router will be as follows:
A server LAN of six host addresses
An employee LAN of 126 host addresses
Label each of your host workstations with its IP address.
Change the hostnames of the Routers and Switches to reflect the names on the topology map.
Provide each router's Fast Ethernet interfaces with IP addresses.
Provide the host machines with an IP address such that they can ping the Fast Ethernet Interface.
