Background / Scenario
When given a network topology, it is important to be able to determine the number of subnets
required. In this lab, several scenario topologies will be provided, along with a base network address
and mask. You will subnet the network address and provide an IP addressing scheme that will
accommodate the number of subnets displayed in the topology diagram. You must determine the
number of bits to borrow, the number of hosts per subnet, and potential for growth as specified by the
instructions.
In Part 1, you have been given the 192.168.10.0/24 network address to subnet, with the following
topology. Determine the number of networks needed and then design an appropriate addressing
scheme.
The network topology from Part 1 has expanded to accommodate the addition of router R3 and its
accompanying network, as illustrated in the following topology. Use the 192.168.10.0/24 network
address to provide addresses to the network devices, and then design a new addressing scheme to
support the additional network requirement.
The topology has changed again with a new LAN added to R2 and a redundant link between R1 and
R3. Use the 192.168.10.0/24 network address to provide addresses to the network devices. Also
provide an IP address scheme that will accommodate these additional devices. For this topology,
assign a subnet to each network.
