Task 3: IP Addressing Scheme
The report deals with description of the IP Addressing scheme for the Technology
Centre. It has been given the subnet to be used for the designing of the IP addresses in the
network is 180.16.0.0. In addition to the design of the IP addresses for the network, the
information about the routers and the manageable switches are also presented in the report.
The first part of this section would contain the overview of the Addressing Scheme for the
organization. The CIDR notations has been used here for the for the development of the IP
addressing scheme.
When designing a certain network for a certain organization, IP addressing scheme is
one of the basic requirements. IP addressing scheme enables the forwarding of packets from
one to another. By maintaining a good IP addressing scheme, it will enable a good flow of
protocols from one room to another and outside the organization network. As indicated in the
scenario, Technology Centre is two floors building organization with about 400 computers in
the ground floor, 80 computers in the first floor with 20 computers in each the four rooms,
and a capacity of sixty computers in the second floor. To cater for future expansion, this
paper will have a maximum of 512 host in the ground floor, where there is a lot of hosts, 256
hosts in the first floor, and 256 hosts in the second floor. Hence the /22 sub netting mask has
been used here for sub netting the network for the Technology Centre.
It is evident that technology Centre would be using the Class B addresses and henced
the mask of 255.255.0.0 is being used here. Hence this helped in deciding that the /22 mask is
to be used. This is as indicated by the following IPv4 table addresses with all the concerns of
Technology Centre with a CIDR notation. The IP addressing for the Technology centre is
provided in the table below:
