Assignment description

Introduction
The objectives of this assignment are as follows:
1- To help students understand the IPv4 addressing.
2- To help students practice the IP address planning and subneting.
 Q1: Based on the information in the graphic shown, design a network addressing
scheme that will supply the minimum number of hosts per subnet, and allow
enough extra subnets and hosts for 70% growth in all areas without using VLSM.
Circle each subnet on the graphic and answer the questions below.

Address class ---------------------------

Custom subnet mask ---------------------------
Minimum number of subnets needed ---------------------------
Extra subnets required for 70 % growth +
(Round up to the next whole number) ---------------------------
Total number of subnets needed = ---------------------------
Number of host addresses in the largest subnet group ---------------------------
Number of addresses needed for 70% growth in the largest subnet +
(Round up to the next whole number) ---------------------------
Total number of address needed for the largest subnet = ---------------------------
Start with the first subnet and arrange your
sub-networks from the largest group to the smallest:
Subnet 1: IP address range for Dallas ---------------------------
Subnet 2: IP address range for Ft. Worth ---------------------------
Subnet 3: IP address range for Router A to Router B serial connection ---------------------------
Subnet 4: IP address range for Router A to Router C serial connection
---------------------------
Subnet 5: IP address range for Router C to Router D serial connection ---------------------------

Subnet 4: IP address range for Router A to Router C serial connection
---------------------------
Subnet 5: IP address range for Router C to Router D serial connection ---------------------------
 Q3: Repeat Question 1 while using VLSM on the subnet between Router C-
Router D in order to provide IP addresses for the 3 WAN connections between
routers. Then, calculate the amount of IP addresses that were freed by this
operation.

Subnet mask with VLSM ---------------------------

IP address range for Router A to Router B serial connection with
VLSM ---------------------------
IP address range for Router A to Router C serial connection with
VLSM ---------------------------
IP address range for Router C to Router D serial connection with
VLSM
---------------------------
Number of IP addresses released from initial Router A-B Subnet in
Q1 due to using VLSM ---------------------------
Number of IP addresses released from initial Router A-C Subnet in
Q1 due to using VLSM ---------------------------
Number of IP addresses released from initial Router C-D Subnet in
Q1 due to using VLSM ---------------------------

Total number of IP addresses released from the WAN subnets due to

using VLSM: ---------------------------
 Q4: Repeat Question 2 while using VLSM on the subnet between Router C-
Router D in order to provide IP addresses for the 3 WAN connections between
routers. Then, calculate the amount of IP addresses that were freed by this
operation.

Subnet mask with VLSM ---------------------------

IP address range for Router A to Router B serial connection with
VLSM ---------------------------
IP address range for Router A to Router C serial connection with
VLSM ---------------------------
IP address range for Router C to Router D serial connection with
VLSM
---------------------------
Number of IP addresses released from initial Router A-B Subnet in
Q1 due to using VLSM ---------------------------
Number of IP addresses released from initial Router A-C Subnet in
Q1 due to using VLSM ---------------------------
Number of IP addresses released from initial Router C-D Subnet in
Q1 due to using VLSM ---------------------------

Total number of IP addresses released from the WAN subnets due to

using VLSM: ---------------------------
