Australian Government Network Planning Assignment (ITECH1102)

This assignment presents a network planning solution for the Australian government, focusing on IPv4 address allocation and routing. The solution includes the assignment of IP addresses and subnet masks for each Australian state (WA, NT, QLD, NSW, VIC, TAS, and SA), along with the number of addresses available. The core of the assignment involves the creation of routing tables for edge routers (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6), defining destination networks, interface assignments, and next hop configurations. The solution also provides IP addresses for network interface cards to connect NT, WA, and SA routers. Finally, a bibliography of relevant sources supports the network planning and IP-related concepts presented in the assignment.
