Design a star topology consisting of the devices seen in Table 1.
1. Configure the devices using the following IP addresses and subnet masks:
Device IP Address Subnet mask
PC1 172.16.33.2 255.255.0.0
PC2 172.16.33.3 255.255.0.0
Server1 172.16.33.4 255.255.0.0
Server2 172.16.33.5 255.255.0.0
Router LAN interface 172.16.33.6 255.255.0.0
Router WAN interface 196.12.45.66 255.255.255.0
Table 1:Network Devices
2. Without testing for connectivity and just observing the addresses above, will all the workstations
be able to communicate with the servers? If no, troubleshoot were necessary and rectify the issue.2 Testing the Network
1. Test network connectivity with ping. Fill `yes' or `no' into the matrix below, depending on the
success of the ping.
DEVICE PC1 PC2 Server2 Server2 LAN

PC1 -
PC2 -
Server1 -
Server2 -
LAN interface - -
WAN interface - -
2. Why are the pings to the Router WAN interface unsuccessful?
Explanation:
3. Which device in this topology would be the candidate for the default gateway?
Explanation:
4. Configure a default gateway on PC1, Server2, and Server3.
5. Check that pings to the Router WAN interface are now going through. Troubleshoot if necessary.
