Introduction
The scenario given in this case is that the company is looking to develop the network that
would consists of over 1200 workstations located at different office locations. The
distribution of the network is as follows:
 Finance Office - 260 workstations
 Transport Office - 130 workstations
 Research Office - 120 workstations
 Sales Office - 40 workstations
 Information technology - 520 workstations
 Head Office - 60 workstations
The IP address that is being allocated to the company is 10.0.0.0 secluded IP address and we
need to subnet it as per the requirement so as to have the network between the six different
offices.
Task A
We would now subnet the 10.0.0.0 IP space so as there is possibility of expansion in the
future and network can be easily maintained as per the requirement. Furthermore, the
different office locations are connected via the fibre optics.
The IP addressing and its sub-networking is done using the classful addressing where the
subnet mask defines the length of the network and let us know from which segment of the
network the packet belongs to. The network segmentation could become quiet an issue in
case the network segments have not been defined at the start of the network layout plan. The
common issue being the depletion of the number of IP addresses available for the new
devices to the network. A sound arrangement of the network addressing would allow easier
addition of the newer networking devices to be easily being added to the network. This also
enhances the overall security of the network as the devices which are meant for the network
would not be able to get the IP from another segment. We can make use of the virtual LANs
that would help us to mitigate further security issues as well (this can be taken up later as
current focus is on the network segmentation using the classful addressing).
The IP address that we have is particularly from following classes:
1. Class A with Network ID being of 8 bits out of total 32-bit IP address
2. Class B with Network ID being of 16 bits out of total 32-bit IP address
3. Class C with Network ID being of 24 bits out of total 32-bit IP address
The addresses classes or address space defines the limit to which the network IP space can be
used as IP subnetting that is to divide the network into small network space for the individual
offices.
Figure 1 Depicts the address space of all the classes, our current focus is on class A, B and C
