Assignment No. 1 CS407 – Routing & Switching Solution

[bc170406547]

CS407 assignment soution needed

QUESTIONS
Question No 1: (Marks 1+9)
There are different types of networks e.g. Wireless Network, Cellular Network, Fiber Optical
Network, Copper Network etc. These networks have various components of different categories.
Your task is to identify at least three common categories of network components that exist in any
type of network. You need to also write at least three example components for each category.
Question No 2: (Marks 10)
Networks contain different types of nodes and components. Network simulators help learners
and planners to learn/plan their network and evaluate theses nodes and components. Cisco Packet
tracer is one of such an example. In this assignment you need to download/install and configure
latest version of cisco packet tracer and draw an example of network diagram that involves LAN,
WAN, MAN, SAN, Internet and WLAN with some connected users? You must label type of
each network.
Note: You need to submit single *.pkt file for this question along with snapshot in the word file.

Question No 3: (Marks 10)
IP addressing is an important part in planning of IP networks. There would be no communication
possible without appropriate addressing scheme. IP Network use IP addresses on network layer
along with some helping techniques like subneting, summarization and aggregation. Consider a
network block of 10.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 16 bits. Using appropriate technique your task it
to answer the following:
1. How many hosts can be allocated a valid IP address with above information and what
will be their network addresses?
2. How many network segments can be generated, if the subnet mask bits are increased to
28?
3. How many hosts can exist in a segment with given case of subnet as given in point 2?
4. Consider an IP address of 10.10.10.10/28. What is the network address, broadcast address
for the given segment?
5. What sub net mask will be your best choice for point to point links?
