ITECH1102 Network Planning Assignment: IP Address and Routing Tables

This assignment solution addresses the ITECH1102 Networking and Security network planning task. The student, acting as a Network System Administrator, allocates IPv4 addresses and builds routing tables for edge routers connecting Australian states. The solution details IP address ranges, subnet masks, and the number of usable addresses for each state, including Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Queensland, and Northern Territory, along with their corresponding network addresses and masks. It also includes routing tables for edge routers (R1, R2, and R3), specifying destination networks, interface details, and next hop information. Furthermore, the solution provides the IP addresses for the Network Interface Cards (NICs) of the routers, showing the connectivity between the routers and the states. References to supporting materials, such as books and resources, are provided to enhance the understanding of the concepts.
