TCP/IP NETWORKING
Introduction
The report is prepared for creation of a detailed design solution for the M2M solution and
accommodate its future growth. The network solution is prepared after analyzing the requirement
of the organization and subnets are used for minimizing the wastage of the IP address and
increase the efficiency of the network. The condition if the hosts per network increases are
discussed in the report and the solution is also proposed for mitigation of the risk. The benefits of
the application of the network protocol analyzer in the proposed network is discussed with
examples. The cost of installation and maintenance of the network protocol analyzer in the
network is given and the usability of the devices are also discussed for providing benefit top the
network. Some recommendation are added in the report for implementation of the tool or the
software program and the benefit that the organization can gain and reduce the risk of intruder
attack.
Task 1
a. Detailed Design of Addressing Solution
The design of the M2M network is created by analyzing the requirement of the
organization and the private IP address used for accommodation of the hosts connected in the
network.

Figure 1: Detailed Network Diagram of the proposed network
(Source: Created by author)
The above network diagram is created for connecting the six buildings in the network and
accommodate the expected growth of the network with 1200 workstation for all the offices. A
subnet is created for each of the building and the router is required to be configured with the
subnet. The VLSM technology is used for the calculation of network address and the subnet
mask and minimize the IP address wastage. The details of the assignable of the IP address and
the subnet mask for the accommodation of the host is shown in the table below:
Major Network: 10.0.0.0/21
Available IP addresses in major network: 2046
Number of IP addresses needed: 1130
Available IP addresses in allocated subnets: 2036
