Summary
There is a requirement of the private biomedical software development company to develop a
network that would connects the company’s headquarter with the branches and manage the
changes in the Ip address plan. For the development of the new IP addressing plan the number
of branches and department of the organization is needed to be identified. The size of each of
the branch and the number of device installed in the network is identified for the development
of the IP addressing plan and assign the Ip address to the device for enabling communication
between the department of the organization. An Ipv4 and Ipv6 Ip address plan is created that
would help the network administrator to configure the network device and enable the network
to be configured as a dual stack network. The network interface of each of the network device
should be identified for the configuration of the gateway address and assigning it to the host
connected in the network. The details of the network such as the IP subnet, subnet mask,
network address, default gateway, key Ip address are used for the development of the IPv4
address plan. For the development of the IPv6 address plan IP subnet, prefix, network address,
default gateway and the key Ip address are documented. Along with the IP address plan the
physical and logical network diagram is created.

1. Introduction
1.1 Aims and Objectives
The aim of the report is to create an Ipv4 and Ipv6 address plan for the private
biomedical software development company for supporting the configuration of the network
using the new IP address space provided.
The following objectives are identified for the development of the IP address plan such as:
 To identify the number of department for dividing the network into manageable smaller subnets
 To identify the number of device connected per subnet for the development of the subnet plan
 To identify the network device and hardware used for the configure the network
 To develop a physical and logical network diagram for the identification of the framework of the
organizational network
1.2 Scope and Background
For the development of the IP addressing plan the growth of the organization should be
considered and some extra number of IP address are kept for each of the subnet such that it
can be used for meeting the future growth of the organization. Currently the organization have
104 network devices in the headquarter that includes the printers, servers, computers, routers
and the other devices. The branch A have 10 and branch B have 14 number of devices installed
in each of the location. For the presentation of then network the logical and physical network
are developed and three routers are used for each of the branches and the headquarters.
2. Organizational Description
The organization develops software for a private biomedical company has its two branch offices
in Goal Coast region. The There are 104 number of users in the headquarters, 10 number of
users in branch A and 14 number of users in branch B. The organization have a requirement of
readdressing the IP address plan with a newly provided Ip address. The network sis configured
with Ipv4 and Ipv6 address such that it is able to communicate with the network configured
with IPv6 address and increase the sustainability of the network. For increasing the scalability of
the network some extra number of address space are allocated for each of the subnet that
would help the organization to meet the future needs and increase the efficiency of the
organization.

4. Conclusions
From the above report it can be concluded that the development of the IP addressing plan
would help the network administrator to configure the network without any errors in the
configuration. For the development of the IP plan the number of hosts that are needed to be
allocated with the Ip address are identified. The requirement of each of the subnet for the
development of the IP address plan is analysed for the calculation of the addressing table.
