Part 1: Examine the Network Requirements
Step 1: Determine the number of subnets needed.

How many subnets are needed in the network topology? 172.31.103.0/24

4 subnets

Step 2: Determine the subnet mask information for each subnet.

a. Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for Room-114?

/27 255.255.255.11100000

30 hosts

b. Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for Room-279?

/27 255.255.255.11100000

30 hosts

c. Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for Room-312?

/28 255.255.255.240

14 hosts

d. Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for Room-407?

/28 255.255.255.240

14 hosts

e. Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for the
connection between Branch1 and Branch2?

/30 255.255.255.252
 Part 2: Design the VLSM Addressing Scheme
Step 1: Divide the 172.31.103.0/24 network based on the number of hosts per
subnet.
172.31.103.0/24
172.31.103.0/24 -> 172.31.103.0/25 , 172.31.103.128/25
172.31.103.0/25 -> 172.31.103.0/26 , 172.31.103.64/26
172.31.103.0/26 -> 172.31.103.0/27 , 172.31.103.32/27
172.31.103.64/26 ->172.31.103.64/27 , 172.31.103.96/27
172.31.103.64/27 -> 172.31.103.64/28 , 172.31.103.80/28
172.31.103.96/27 -> 172.31.103.96/28 , 172.31.103.112/28
172.31.103.96/28 -> 172.31.103.96/29 , 172.31.103.104/29
172.31.103.96/29 -> 172.31.103.96/30 , 172.31.103.100/30

Step 2: Document the VLSM subnets.
