Touchstone Task 2.2_ Planning IP Address Assignments Questions.docx

Name: Debra Travis Date: 03/18/2024 Touchstone Task 2.2: Planning IP Address Assignments Review the scenario and client expectations about Greenfield Properties. Make sure you also review the additional client expectations related to this Touchstone Preparation. Based on the information provided by the client, answer the following questions in 2-4 sentences each. Be sure to explain your answers in detail. Although this network is rather small, subnetting it can still be beneficial. What are some reasons why? If you need some help, this article may be useful. Some of the reasons why this would work is because it limits the number of routers that is needed. It also speeds up the network that is being used. How do you plan to segment the network? Explain your strategy and list the subnets you would create. I would use 8 subnets. 1) Use for onsite employees. 2) Use this one for remote workers. 3) This one would be used for leasing agents. 4) This one would be used for the maintenance workers for the building. 5) This one would be used for tablets and cell phones that the office staff would use. 6) This one would be used just for the owner and managers. 7) This would be used for printers and connected equipment. 8) If needed this would be a guest subnet for visitors. Looking at the scenario document, how many subnets do you think you will need, and how many hosts must each of them support? This system would require a possible setup of 8 subnets. It should also support the hosts listed. 1) Number one: should have up to 15 for the onsite employees. 2) Number two: should have up to 6 for all the remote workers. 3) Number three: should have up to 6 for use by the leasing agents. 4) Number four: should have up to 6 for use by the maintenance department. 5) Number Five: should have up to 4 which would be used by the office workers. 6) Number six: should have up to 8 that would be used by the owners and managers.

7) Number seven: Should have up to 6 to utilize all the printers and other network equipment. 8) Number eight: Should have up to 4 so that it can be utilized by the guests if need be. Given the needed numbers of hosts that each subnet will support, what subnet masks should be used for each of them? For each subnet, state the number of mask bits (for example, /27) and the subnet mask to use (for example, 255.255.255.224). You may find it useful to use a subnetting calculator, such as this calculator . (Ref: IP Subnetting ) For the subnets, you can use the following subnet masks based on the required number of hosts. Subnet 1: /27 (255.255.255.224), Subnet 2: /29 (255.255.255.248), Subnet 3: /29 (255.255.255.248), Subnet 4: /29 (255.255.255.248), Subnet 5: /29 (255.255.255.248), Subnet 6: /29 (255.255.255.248),

Subnet 7: /29 (255.255.255.248), Subnet 8 (Guest Network, if required): /29 (255.255.255.248( Given the current number of hosts, and planning for a future expansion of at least 50%, I would use 8 subnet masks to divide the hosts and give each the following mask bits: - Subnet 1: 15 —> 16 (2^4bits = 16) /28 (255.255.255.240)

- Subnet 2: 6 —> 8 (2^3bits = 8) /29 (255.255.255.248) - Subnet 3: 6 —> 8 (2^3bits = 8) /29 (255.255.255.248) - Subnet 4: 6 —> 8 (2^3bits = 8) /29 (255.255.255.248) - Subnet 5: 4 —> 8 (2^3bits = 8) /29 (255.255.255.248) - Subnet 6: 8 (2^3bits = 8) /29 (255.255.255.248) - Subnet 7: 8 (2^3bits = 8) /29 (255.255.255.248)
