Question 1

Subnetting

Group 8: Network address 192.200.1.0/24 Subnet mask 255.255.255.224

Report Questions

Answer five simple questions:

1. How many subnets does the subnet mask produce?

 the subnet mask 255.255.255.224 produces 32 subnets from the original network
address 192.200.1.0/24.
2. How many valid hosts per subnet?
Number of Subnets = 2^(Number of Host Bits in Subnet Mask) – 2
=2^(5)-2
= Each with 30 hosts.

Question 2

Lab Exercise: Many-to-one Network Address Translation (NAT)

NAT stands for Network Address Translation is used to perform address translation between two
networks, which are identified as the inside network and the outside network in NAT terminology.
i.e, there are primarily two ways a NAT can be defined in a network. One is NAT inside, where we
define the inside local, and inside global ip addresses; and the other is NAT outside, where we define
the outside local, and outside global IP addresses.

1. Assign IP addresses to all the devices as per the IP address assignment table
2. Enable routing on all routers
3. Create IP NAT Mapping (Hint: use inside source static command) on LA
4. Define IP NAT Inside and IP NAT Outside interfaces on LA
5. Test for Connectivity by issuing ping command
