The same skill as in "Static IP Addressing in a Single Subnet", but on a new 10.0.0.0/24 network. The student's task is to manually assign static addresses to PC1 and PC2 with no gateway, then verify connectivity with ping.
The goal
Two computers on the same local network need to see each other. No router is needed: both hosts sit on the same 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, so they communicate directly over L2. You'll manually assign static addresses and verify connectivity with ping.
IP plan
| Device | IP | Mask | Gateway |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC1 | 10.0.0.11 | /24 | — |
| PC2 | 10.0.0.12 | /24 | — |

Tasks
- On the PC1 console:
ip 10.0.0.11/24, thensave. On the PC2 console:ip 10.0.0.12/24, thensave. - From PC1:
ping 10.0.0.12.
Completion criteria
- PC1 — address
10.0.0.11/24, gateway empty. - PC2 — address
10.0.0.12/24, gateway empty. - Ping
PC1 → 10.0.0.12succeeds.
