Answers to Scenario 5-1: IP Addressing and Subnet
Calculation
Assuming that you had issued the commands in Example 5-28, the most specific network
diagram would look like Figure 5-48.

Scenario 5-1 Answer--Network with Router Fred
The clues that you should have found in the show commands are as follows:
·
The types and IP addresses of the interfaces on Fred were in the show interface and show
ip interface brief
command output.
·
The subnets could be learned from the show ip route command or derived from the IP
addresses and masks shown in the show interface command output.
·
The neighboring router's IP addresses could be learned from the show ip protocol
command.
·
The neighboring routers' IP addresses and host names could be learned from the show
cdp neighbor detail
command.
·
The metric for subnet 199.1.1.128/27 in RIP updates implies that both neighbors have an
equal-cost route to the same subnet. Because two separate but duplicate networks would
be a bad design, you can assume that the neighboring routers are attached to the same
medium.
