Im starting to delve deeper into networking and trying to find a good forum for such a topic to get help and guidance, Please I need further quidance from the experts on the following questions.

An internetwork consisting of four networks interconnected by routers.
Network A has address 10.10.10.0/24 and Network B 11.11.11.0/24. Network C and D are subnets of 12.12.12.0/24 that are
each capable of supporting a maximum of six interfaces.
Network A and Network D each have one host attached, Host A and Host D respectively
(not shown).

1)What is the suitable IP addresses for Host A, R1’s interfaces and R2’s
interface on Network B.
2)What is the suitable network addresses for Network C and Network D.
3)What is the a suitable IP address, default gateway and network mask for Host D
4)What is the routing table for R1 showing the entries required to reach a host on any of the attached networks (R1 is not permitted to have a default gateway)
[note: the table should show destination, mask and next hop for each entry. Assign any additional IP addresses required].
5)Explain the routing decisions that enable a ping and its response to be sent between Host A and Host D

Some of these questions require calculations that I'm not ready to do, at least not on Nairaland. But you are dealing with class C addresses.... which means the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0.

Also, the default gateway is always the address of that router....

I'll respond to this thread soon

Please if you don't mind! can I have your contact number, I dont mind ringing you so you can guide me through.
Thanks

Thanks Fulaman198! I'm looking forward to your prompt respond.

a /24 network means you have a maximum of 254 hosts with 1 network address and 1 broadcast address. So for Network A 10.10.10.0/24, the host range would be 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.10.254, the broadcast address would be 10.10.10.255 and the network address would be 10.10.10.0. The same thing is also applied to Network B: 11.11.11.0/24. The host range would be 11.11.11.1 - 11.11.11.254 and the broadcast address would be 11.11.11.255 with the network address being 11.11.11.0.

Router interfaces typically are the first IP address in the host range (default gateway) but honestly can be set to anything in your host range. If were designing this WAN, I would set the router's IP address to 10.10.10.1 for Network A and the Router for Network B to 11.11.11.1.

For a network to support 6 interfaces, can you please be more specific? Do you mean 6 hosts? or 6 router interfaces per router.

A routing table for router A can be seen in many ways depending on your router. If it is a cisco router, type ip route at the command line. How do you plan on configuring the routers to talk to one another? What routing protocol(s) will you use. Remember Directly connected routes have highest priority followed by static IP routes, then I believe EIGRP with an admin distance of 90 and OSPF with an admin distance of 110. Thus EIGRP takes precedence over OSPF. Let me know if you need more details thanks.

Thank you very much for the help, I still need some additional clarification in regards to question 2 and 4.
Please can you help me with your number so I can ring you tonight.
