Introducing Routing and Switching in the Enterprise
Background / Preparation
This lab explores the use of VLSM to meet the needs of a network topology. In this lab, you will assess
the topology, determine the addressing scheme to meet its needs, and prepare documentation for the
addressing. You have been assigned the 192.168.1.0/24 network to address this network.
How many host IP addresses are needed for the second largest LAN? 26
d. How many host IP addresses are needed for the next-largest LAN? 20
e. How many host IP addresses are needed for the smallest LAN? 12
f.
How many host IP addresses are needed for each WAN link? 2 each, with a total of 6
g. What is the total number of host IP addresses that are needed for these networks? 119
h. What is the total number of host IP addresses that are available in the 192.168.1.0/24 network? 254
If the network is subnetted to provide 7 usable subnets, can the addressing requirements be met?
No Subnetting to/27 (by IP subnet zero is available) or/28 mask (without IP subnet zero) will
not allow for the number of hosts per subnet required.

Step 5: Assign IP configurations to workstations
One workstation has been provided to represent each LAN. Complete the chart below with IP
configuration information for each representative workstation.

Step 6: Reflection
a. What is the last host IP address that will be used by this VLSM scheme?
192.168.1.150
b. Your largest LAN can accommodate 15% growth with your VLSM scheme. Which of the other
LANs can also accomplish this goal?
Just LAN_D, although LAN_C near
c.
If you decided to change the masks on those LANs that did not meet the 15% growth goal, would
you have enough addresses to complete your scheme? Yes.
