In the current solution, the Top and Bottom subnets are connected using a router $($Router West$).$ The

management wants to implement a VLAN solution provide additional server security. You will need to add a

switch $($named Switch Middle$)$ and connect Switch Top and Switch Bottom to it rather than directly to the

Router West. All PCs will become members of VLAN $15,$ and all Servers will become members of VLAN $30.$ The

subnet $172\mathrm{.}16\mathrm{.}100\mathrm{.}0/25$ will be associated with VLAN $15,$ and the subnet $172\mathrm{.}16\mathrm{.}100\mathrm{.}128$ will be associated with

VLAN $30.$

Appropriately configure the router interface$($s$)$ and DHCP pools to accommodate the subnet changes required

for the VLAN configuration. $($This may either be done with two links between Switch Middle and Router West or

by creating a $$Router on a Stick$$ configuration with sub$-$interfaces on Router West $($Note: this has been

mentioned, but not covered in the workshops$).$ Check connectivity within the same and different VLANs. Use

$$Simulation$$ mode in Packet Tracer to show the connectivity with $$pinging$$ using GUI with the router interfaces

being enabled and disabled. Analyse the results and explain why it was a success or failure. Your report should

document the IP ranges and masks for each subnet and describe your solution for VLAN configuration and

routing between subnets and how it differs to task $2.$ Discuss any shortcomings of the network design. Include

screenshots of simulation mode in your report.
