Configure IP Addresses ​

IP Address Table for PCs ​

PC0:

  • IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.2
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

PC1:

  • IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.3
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

PC2:

  • IPv4 Address: 192.168.2.2
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1

PC3:

  • IPv4 Address: 192.168.2.3
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1

IP Address Table for Routers: ​

Router0:

  • Serial2/0: 10.1.1.1
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • FastEthernet0/0: 192.168.1.1
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Router1:

  • Serial2/0: 10.1.1.2
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • FastEthernet0/0: 192.168.2.1
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Configure IP Addresses for the PCs ​

Go to Desktop -> IP Configuration. Set the IPv4 Address, and Default Gateway for each PC. Make sure the IP addresses of the PCs matches with the information at the IP Address Table for PCs section.

Configure IP Addresses for the Routers ​

Configure the IP addresses for the two routers. You have to configure the ip address for the FastEthernet0/0 and Serial2/0 ports for each router.

FastEthernet0/0

Router0:

Router>en
Router#config t
Router(config)#int FastEthernet0/0
Router(config-if)#ip add 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shut

Router1:

Router>en  
Router#config t 
Router(config)#int FastEthernet0/0
Router(config-if)#ip add 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0  
Router(config-if)#no shut

Serial2/0

Router0:

Router>en
Router#config t
Router(config)#int Serial2/0
Router(config-if)#ip add 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shut

Router1:

Router>en
Router#config t
Router(config)#int Serial2/0
Router(config-if)#ip add 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shut

Configure Routing ​

Configure static routes for the two routers in order for the PCs to communicate with each other.

Router0:

Router>en  
Router#config t 
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2

Router1:

Router>en  
Router#config t 
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1

Check Connectivity Between PCs ​

Ping each PC to check if the four PCs can communicate with each other.

Ping PCs from PC0

PC0 -> PC1:

ping 192.168.1.3

PC0 -> PC2:

ping 192.168.2.2

PC0 -> PC3:

ping 192.168.2.3

Ping PCs from PC1

PC1 -> PC0:

ping 192.168.1.2

PC1 -> PC2:

ping 192.168.2.2

PC1 -> PC3:

ping 192.168.2.3

Ping PCs from PC2

PC2 -> PC3:

ping 192.168.2.3

PC2 -> PC0:

ping 192.168.1.2

PC2 -> PC1:

ping 192.168.1.3

Ping PCs from PC3

PC3 -> PC2:

ping 192.168.2.2

PC3 -> PC0:

ping 192.168.1.2

PC3 -> PC1:

ping 192.168.1.3

These should work.

Congratulations, you setup a WAN network!
