To Create a network Topology Setup in such a way so that System A can ping to two Systems i.e. System B and System C but both these systems should not be pinging each other implement this setup without using any security rule or firewall

We have to setup 3 VM’s for doing this system.To manipulate this task we can use networking tips by changing theIP,Netmask and Route table.

Topology Diagram
  1. System A : Associated with IP:192.168.43.1 and Netmask:255.255.255.0

Route table is very essential because only based on that routing,It determines whether the packet to created or not.

Here the Routing range is 192.168.43.0/28 and enp0s3 is the Network Interface Card(NIC)

2. System B: Associated with IP:192.168.43.2 and Netmask:255.255.255.0

Here the Routing range is 192.168.43.0/31 and enp0s3 is the Network Interface Card(NIC)

3.System C: Associated with IP:192.168.43.3 and Netmask:255.255.255.0

Here the Routing range is 192.168.43.0/31 and enp0s3 is the Network Interface Card(NIC)

From C, We can Ping System A

From A, We can Ping System B

And Finally,We can’t ping System B to System C and hence the result is achieved.This is due to the range given in the routing table(²¹=2) and hence the System C is not in the given range…
