Task 1 - Network Design and Plan Use Packet Tracer to construct a network as shown in Figure 1.

Configure routers and hosts in the network by allocating each with an IP address in an appropriate range.

The IP addresses for each of the networks should be allocated using DHCP configured in the routers

Report - Document the IP ranges for each network and describe your solution for routing between the networks and why you decide on that solution.

Task 2 - Layer 2 Implementation and Analysis Copy, save and modify your previously constructed network for Task 2.

Create 2 subnets in Network A and allocate VLAN 150 for each PC (A, B and C) in the upper left (blue) quadrant configuring appropriate switch port settings.

In the lower left (pink) quadrant of Network A, allocate VLAN 300 to PC-D & PC-E and allocate VLAN 150 to PC-F configuring appropriate switch port settings.

Reconfigure the Router-A interface and DHCP pools to accommodate the subnet changes required for the VLAN configuration. This may either be done with an additional link between Switch-C and Router-A or by creating a Router on a Stick configuration with sub-interfaces on Router-A.

Report - Document the IP ranges and masks for each subnet and describe your solution for VLAN configuration and routing between subnets and how it differs to task 1.

Task 3 - Layer 3 Evaluation Use your previously constructed network from Task 1 to complete Task 3.

Report - Evaluate and analyse how Layer 2 and Layer 3 addresses (source and destination) are allocated in each networks ingress (incoming) and egress (outgoing) interfaces.

For example, what address is changed at the router interfaces with Network A and Network B? Explain why
