Problem Statement: Design a physical topology using Cisco packet tracer to interconnect 4 subnetworks
for the given class C IP address 200.1.2.0. Additionally mention the subnetwork address and subnet mask
of each subnetwork in the physical topology. All the valid IP addresses related to each of the subnets must
be configured for the hosts.

Troubleshoot IP address Problems

(a) Change the configuration of host address present in the subnet 2. Start sending packet to that host
from subnet 0. State your observations from the simulation.
Observation

(b) Change one of the Router Interface IP and forward packet from one subnet to other using that inter-
face.
Observation

(c) Change the IP address of one of the host in subnet 0 to a different IP not belonging to that subnet.
Select an ARP packet and forward from any host of subnet 0.
