Explanation:
SNMP - a protocol used to monitor and manage network devices
FTP - a reliable, connection oriented service that uses TCP to transfer files between systems. TFTP - A connectionless service that uses UDP to transfer files between systems DNS - a protocol that converts human-readable names into machine-readable addresses DHCP - used to assign IP addresses automatically and set parameters such as subnet mask and default gateway

Specify appropriate devices and drag them on the "Device" boxes For the device at the bottom-right box, we notice that it has 2 interfaces Fa0/2 and Fa0/4; moreover the link connects the PC on the right with the device on the bottom-right is a straight-through link -> it is a switch The question stated that this topology contains 3 routers and 1 switch -> two other devices are routers Place them on appropriate locations as following: (Host D and host E will be automatically added after placing two routers. Click on them to access neighboring routers) Specify appropriate connections between these devices:
+
The router on the left is connected with the Main router through FastEthernet interfaces: use a crossover cable
+
The router on the right is connected with the Main router through Serial interfaces: use a
serial cable
+
The router on the right and the Switch: use a straight-through cable
+
The router on the left and the computer: use a crossover cable (To remember which type of cable you should use, follow these tips:
-
To connect two serial interfaces of 2 routers we use serial cable
-
To specify when we use crossover cable or straight-through cable, we should remember: Group 1: Router, Host, Server Group 2: Hub, Switch One device in group 1 + One device in group 2: use straight-through cable Two devices in the same group: use crossover cable For example: we use straight-through cable to connect switch to router, switch to host, hub to host, hub to server... and we use crossover cable to connect switch to switch, switch to hub, router to router, host to host... ) Assign appropriate IP addresses for interfaces: From Main router, use show running-config command:
(Notice that you may see different IP addresses in the real CCNA exam, the ones shown above are just used for demonstration)
From the output we learned that the ip address of Fa0/0 interface of the Main router is
192.168.152.177/28. This address belongs to a subnetwork which has:
Increment: 16 (/28 = 255.255.255.240 or 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 0000)
Network address: 192.168.152.176 (because 176 = 16 * 11 and 176 < 177)
Broadcast address: 192.168.152.191 (because 191 = 176 + 16 - 1)
And we can pick up an ip address from the list that belongs to this subnetwork:
192.168.152.190 and assign it to the Fa0/0 interface the router on the left Use the same method for interface Serial0/0 with an ip address of 192.168.152.161 Increment: 16 Network address: 192.168.152.160 (because 160 = 16 * 10 and 160 < 161) Broadcast address: 192.168.152.175 (because 176 = 160 + 16 - 1) -> and we choose 192.168.152.174 for Serial0/0 interface of the router on the right Interface Fa0/1 of the router on the left IP (of the computer on the left) : 192.168.152.129/28 Increment: 16 Network address: 192.168.152.128 (because 128 = 16 * 8 and 128 < 129) Broadcast address: 192.168.152.143 (because 143 = 128 + 16 - 1) -> we choose 192.168.152.142 from the list Interface Fa0/0 of the router on the right IP (of the computer on the left) : 192.168.152.225/28 Increment: 16 Network address: 192.168.152.224 (because 224 = 16 * 14 and 224 < 225) Broadcast address: 192.168.152.239 (because 239 = 224 + 16 - 1) -> we choose 192.168.152.238 from the list Let's have a look at the picture below to summarize Configure two routers on the left and right with these commands: Router1 = router on the left Assign appropriate IP addresses to Fa0/0 & Fa0/1 interfaces: Router1>enable Router1#configure terminal Router1(config)#interface fa0/0 Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.190 255.255.255.240 Router1(config-if)#no shutdown Router1(config-if)#interface fa0/1 Router1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.152.142 255.255.255.240 Router1(config-if)#no shutdown Set passwords (configure on two routers)
