Progress ReportsYou are to provide progress reports to the teacher / client as shown in the project timelines during the time of the project. This will ensure that you keep to the specified timelines and that the project is completed to the teacher / client’s satisfaction. During these progress reports, the teacher / client will be able to identify any errors or omissions and you will be able to correct these before they become major problems that would impact on the successful completion of the project.
ClarificationIf you require clarification on any issues, you should develop your questions relating to the issues and arrange a time to discuss them with your teacher / client. You should treat this exercise as if you were dealing with the client in a real-life situation – the closer this exercise is to reality, the more your will benefit. Therefore, you should collate all the information you require and arrange a meeting with your teacher / client in order to ask all questions at once.
In a real situation you would want to disturb the client as little as possible but still ascertain the exact details of what your client wants. Know exactly what you want to know, frame the best possible questions to find this out and then talk to the client.
Getting StartedNow that you have an overview of the project, read through the rest of the project to gain an understanding of all the requirements. Read each part and step and make notes of what is required so you are clear on what you need to do to successfully complete each step. Once this is completed you are ready to work through each step. If you require clarification on any of the steps, discuss these with the teacher / client as per the clarification information.
After reading through each step, you will note that some information has already been provided by the teacher / client. Read through the information and apply this information to the project or if necessary, ask for clarification as per the clarification information.
At each step, read the activities and complete them as necessary. In a live environment more than one activity may be started at a given time, whereas some activities cannot be started until others are completed. The same is true with this project, you do not necessarily have to complete each activity in the order they are given.
To assist you with meeting project timelines and completing all the activities, you should prepare a timelines chart using the software package Microsoft Project or something similar.

Part B – Develop the subnet scheme.Develop a subnet scheme using the address below that will allow the customer network to support two subnets of up to 30 clients each, and allow for growth to as many as 6 subnets in the future.
(Note: 1st subnet 0 and last subnets are not able to be used)
Subnet 1 will be used for the wired clients
Next subnet will be used to assign an IP address to the Linksys external Internet interface
Internal wireless network clients will use the default IP addressing (network 192.168.1.0 /24) assigned by the Linksys
Linksys will use NAT/PAT to convert internal wireless client addresses to the external address
Internal wireless clients will not require a subnet from the base address
The customer has been assigned an IP address and subnet mask: ____192.168.111.0__
o If local network customer is AnyCompany1, use 192.168.111.0 /24
o If local network customer is AnyCompany2, use 192.168.222.0 /24
Step 1: Determine the number of hosts and subnets
a. The largest subnet must be able to support 30 hosts.
To support that many hosts, the number of host bits required is __5_______.
b. What is the minimum number of subnets required for the new network design that also allows for future growth? ___6______
c. How many host ID bits are reserved for the subnet ID to allow for this number of subnets with each subnet having 30 hosts? ____3__
d. What is the maximum possible number of subnets with this scheme? ________8___
e. What is the maximum usable number of subnets with this scheme? _____6______
Step 2: Calculate the custom subnet mask
a. Now that the number of subnet ID bits is known, the subnet mask can be calculated
A class C network has a default subnet mask of 24 bits, or 255.255.255.0
After subnetting, you will need a new custom subnet mask
b. The custom subnet mask for this network will be _255.255_.255_.224_, or /_27.

NOTE: In order to find out exactly how the router is configured, look at the interfaces. Doing this will identify the type of router as well as how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all of the combinations of configurations for each router class. What is provided are the identifiers for the possible combinations of interfaces in the device. This interface chart does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in IOS command to represent the interface.
