Sales Comes Online
Lesson 28 of 35 in Coddy's LAN Labs course.
Sales gets the subnet 10.10.1.0/24. The router's interface toward the Sales switch takes the .1, and the desktops take the addresses after it.
Notice the switch ports: port1 is already used by the router cable, so the first desktop lands on port2. Nothing needs a gateway yet, because both desktops are in the same subnet and talk directly through the switch.
Challenge
EasyAdd hosts sales1 and sales2, cable both to switch sales (sales1 first), address them 10.10.1.11/24 and 10.10.1.12/24, give the router's eth0 the address 10.10.1.1/24, then ping sales2 from sales1.
Expected output:
Added host sales1
Added host sales2
Linked sales1 (eth0) <-> sales (port2)
Linked sales2 (eth0) <-> sales (port3)
sales1 eth0: 10.10.1.11/24 (mask 255.255.255.0, network 10.10.1.0/24)
sales2 eth0: 10.10.1.12/24 (mask 255.255.255.0, network 10.10.1.0/24)
core eth0: 10.10.1.1/24 (mask 255.255.255.0, network 10.10.1.0/24)
sales1 -> sales2: reply from 10.10.1.12 (ttl=64)Try it yourself
