Network and Security: ITECH1102 Network Planning Assignment

This assignment solution focuses on network planning, specifically addressing the allocation of IPv4 addresses and the construction of routing tables for edge routers connecting Australian states. The solution provides detailed information on IP address assignments, subnet masks, and usable IP ranges for various network segments. It also includes the creation of routing tables for multiple routers, detailing destination networks, interface assignments, and next-hop configurations. Furthermore, the assignment covers the assignment of IP addresses to network interface cards (NICs) for NT, WA, and SA routers, along with references to relevant networking resources. The solution demonstrates a strong understanding of network design principles, IP addressing schemes, and routing protocols, essential for network administration.
