Introduction
In this assessment, you will configure devices in an IPv4/IPv6 network. For the
sake of time, you will not be asked to perform all configurations on all network
devices as you may be required to do in a real network or other assessment.
Instead, you will use the skills and knowledge that you have learned in the labs
in this course to configure the Building 1 router. In addition, you will address the
hosts on two LANs with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, activate and address the
management interface of the Second Floor Switch, and back up a device
configuration to a TFTP server.
You will receive one of several topologies.
You are not required to configure the First Floor Switch, and you will not
be able to access it in this practice skills assessment activity.
All IOS device configurations should be completed from a direct terminal
connection to the device console. In addition, many values that are
required to complete the configurations have not been given to you. In
those cases, create the values that you need to complete the
requirements. For values that have been supplied to you, they must be
entered exactly as they appear in order for you to get full credit for your

configuration.
You will practice and be assessed on the following skills:

Configuration of initial IOS device settings

Design and calculation of IPv4 addressing

Configuration of IOS device interfaces including IPv4 and IPv6
addressing when appropriate
Addressing of network hosts with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Enhancing device security, including configuration of the secure
transport protocol for remote device configuration
Configuration of a switch management interface
Requirements by device:
Building 1 router:

Configuration of initial router settings

Interface configuration and IPv4 and IPv6 addressing

Device security enhancement or device hardening
Secure transport for remote configuration connections as
covered in the labs
Backup of the configuration file to a TFTP server
Second Floor Switch:

Enabling basic remote management by Telnet

Instructions
Step 1: Determine the IP Addressing Scheme.
Design an IPv4 addressing scheme and complete the Addressing Table based
on the following requirements. Use the table to help you organize your work.

a. Subnet the 192.168.1.0/24 network to provide 30 host addresses per

subnet while wasting the fewest addresses.
b. Assign the fourth subnet to the First Floor LAN.
c. Assign the last network host address (the highest) in this subnet to
the G0/0 interface on Building 1.
d. Starting with the fifth subnet, subnet the network again so that the

new subnets will provide 14 host addresses per subnet while wasting
the fewest addresses.
e. Assign the second of these new 14-host subnets to the Second
Floor LAN.
f. Assign the last network host address (the highest) in the Second
Floor LAN subnet to the G0/1 interface of the Building 1 router.
g. Assign the second to the last address (the second highest) in this
subnet to the VLAN 1 interface of the Second Floor Switch.
h. Configure addresses on the hosts using any of the remaining
addresses in their respective subnets.
Step 2: Configure the Building 1 Router.

a. Configure the Building 1 router with all initial configurations that you
have learned in the course so far:
Configure the router hostname: Middle
Protect device configurations from unauthorized access
with the encrypted privileged exec password.
Secure all access lines into the router using methods
covered in the course and labs.
Require newly-entered passwords must have a minimum
length of 10 characters.
Prevent all passwords from being viewed in clear text in
device configuration files.
Configure the router to only accept in-band management
connections over the protocol that is more secure than
Telnet, as was done in the labs. Use the value 1024 for
encryption key strength.

 Configure local user authentication for in-band

management connections. Create a user with the
name netadmin and a secret password
of Cisco_CCNA5 Give the user the highest administrative
privileges. Your answer must match these values exactly.
b. Configure the two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using the IPv4
addressing values you calculated and the IPv6 values provided in the
addressing table.
Reconfigure the link local addresses to the value shown in
the table.
Document the interfaces in the configuration file.
Step 3: Configure the Second Floor Switch.
Configure Second Floor Switch for remote management over Telnet.
Step 4: Configure and Verify Host Addressing.

a. Use the IPv4 addressing from Step 1 and the IPv6 addressing
values provided in the addressing table to configure all host PCs with
the correct addressing.
b. Use the router interface link-local address as the IPv6 default
gateways on the hosts.
Step 5: Backup the Configuration of the Building 1 Router to TFTP.

a. Complete the configuration of the TFTP server using the IPv4

addressing values from Step 1 and the values in the addressing table.
b. Backup the running configuration of Building 1 to the TFTP Server.
Use the default file name.

Terminology

Performance Component - a description of what the student knows and can do about a coherent set of
networking knowledge and skills; the level at which the student's work product can be assigned a
proficiency estimate.
Proficiency Estimate - a description of a student's level of mastery of the performance component. The
proficiency estimate is not meant to be a comprehensive statement of what the student knows and can do.
Work Product - student performance recorded during this assessment. For example, the submitted
activity file, timing statistics, and final running configurations.
Work Product Feature - An aspect of the student's work product. The feature can have a name and a
value. For example, Name = FastEthernet0/0:IP Address; Value = 192.168.1.1
Individual work product features are combined into performance components and scored based on the
complexity of the performance observed. Because the construction of performance components is based
on the underlying work product features as well as the unique design of each scenario, strict boundaries
for determining a proficiency rating are not possible. In general:

None - 0% to 25% of possible points

Novice - 26% to 50% of possible points

Partial - 51% to 85% of possible points

Proficient - 86% to 100% of possible points
