Networking Technologies - Assignment 1
Objectives
The objective of this assignment is to assess your understanding of fundamental networking structure and network design concepts, and your ability to apply them to practical exercises using a tool (Packet Tracer).
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this assignment students should be able to:
Preparation
IMPORTANT: If you submit your video via the wrong option it may delay the marking of your assessment and/or lead to late penalties. It is the responsibility of students to watch these video instructions and to follow them closely. You can edit your submission multiple times prior to the due date.
Requirements:
Watch this video before submitting your assignment
You will need to show footage of yourself completing each task, as well as footage of the yourself speaking to the camera about each task.

Task 1 Network Design and Plan
Design and configure routers and hosts in the network by allocating each IP addresses in an appropriate and minimal range (to maximise the spare ranges for future use) as shown in Figure 1 using Packet Tracer, and verify the connectivity fully works across the network.
Task 2 Layer 2 Implementation and Analysis
In Subnet A, allocate VLAN10 and VLAN 20 for 2 hosts by allocating each IP addresses in an appropriate range. Check connectivity within the same and different VLANs. Use ‘Realtime’ mode in Packet Tracer to show the connectivity with ‘pinging’ using GUI with the router interfaces being enabled and disabled. Analyse the results and explain why it was a ‘success’ or ‘failure’.
Task 3 Layer 3 Evaluation
In Subnet B, clear the ARP table of devices, and ping from a host in Subnet B to a host in Subnet A. Evaluate and analyse how Layer 2 and Layer 3 addresses (source and destination) are allocated in each network’s ingress and egress interfaces. For example, what address is changed at the router interfaces with Subnet A and B? Explain why.
