I have some very terrible configuration with my packet tracer assignment with the vlsm workout I just did can u make sure to see if its right. It was for 210.210.60.0/24

Could use a tad more info.

@Joseph W. Doherty did u review the document.

Just saw it now.
Your OP concerns Q3?
If so, "normally" for such exercises, you allocate subnets by size, from largest to smallest. This insures allocation of address space in the most efficient manner, although, if this was real-world, possibly not in the best manner.
BTW, some of your "sites" with /28 and /30 allocations are curious, as they appear to possibly be single hosts.(?) Further, you have two entries explicitly labeled "devices" with /28s?

@Joseph W. Doherty so what's the correct TFTP & DHCP Server Network addresses subnet masks & valid addresses?
05-15-2025 06:56 AM
Servers would normally have hard coded IPs. Actual IP assignment would depend on what subnet they were placed within.
BTW, unable to open or download the files stored on Google, using just my browser.

@Joseph W. Doherty u can download the zip file here

Ah, that helps much.
Why are you using a /28 on one of your p2p serial links?
BTW, you might also use /31s on your serial links, but using /30s is normally considered fine.
Your TFTF server would use an IP from the 10 hosts Site 3 network.
Your DHCP server is on it's own, dedicated, router interface. For that, provide it its own /30.
BTW, your static routing statements appear to not support your WAN redundancy.

@Joseph W. Doherty I just updated it as I was able to add the static routes & able to backup the running-config files to the TFTP server, but however, I wasn't able to ping to all networks can u please correct my static routes for each one according to the VLSM scheme as my practical assignment is due on the 25th of May at 11:59pm AEST.

@Joseph W. Doherty I need to ping to all networks in this topology using the graphic simulation.
05-16-2025 07:21 AM
ALL networks, or just edge/host networks?
Static routing: you have multiple WAN paths, so you some choices choosing a single path. You can also do ECMP, although in some failure situations you'll drop half your traffic. With SLA, you could deal with the aforementioned potential ECMP issue, you could also set up backup paths. I doubt PT supports SLA with static routing.
Dynamic routing: even with just this topology, a better option. Since you're subnetting a Class C, RIP is ruled out, but RIPv2, OSPF or EIGRP would be fine (I know PT runs OSPF).
Your existing static routes show you appear to understand what you need, but I haven't verified all of them. Do have a specific routing question or issue?

Same subnet for TFTP and DHCP server ?

M02@rt37 what about Q4 Task 4 & Q5 Task 5 does that seem okay, & for the end devices & router ip configurations with the DHCP, TFTP Site 3 PC-PT 10 hosts, PC0, PC1 & Site 2 PC-PT 20 hosts, Site 1 PC-PT 60 hosts, + Chat GPT, Bard, Deepblue, Watson does that seem okay aswell. aswell as Task 6 with the static routes I added as its in the zip file here:

M02@rt37 can u review those steps aswell Task 4 to 6.
