Creating An IP Addressing Scheme

The document outlines an IP addressing scheme to accommodate 400 devices divided into 5 segments. It assigns IP ranges to each segment from 192.1.1.0 to 192.1.5.79. The first 10 addresses of each range are reserved. The subnet mask for each range is 255.255.255.0. Segmenting the network provides advantages like redundancy, creating more IP addresses as needed, and improving security. Reserving IP addresses prevents IPv4 exhaustion by designating private IP blocks. The IP addresses will be distributed to client workstations through a DHCP server.

Creating an IP Addressing Scheme

Create an IP address scheme that will accommodate 400 devices divided into 5 segments.

1. You should have 5 IP ranges for five different segments

192.1.1.0 – 192.1.1.79

192.1.2.0 – 192.1.2.79

192.1.3.0 - 192.1.3.79

192.1.4.0 – 192.1.4.79

192.1.5.0 – 192.1.5.79

2. The first 10 IP addresses must be reserved for each segment

192.1.1.0 through 192.1.1.9

3. Show your subnet mask for each range

All the ranges are Class C, so the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

4. Convert all octets of one IP address for each range in binary form

192.1.1.0 = 11000000.00000001.00000001.00000000

192.1.2.0 = 11000000.00000001.00000010.00000000

192.1.3.0 = 11000000.00000001.00000011.00000000

192.1.4.0 = 11000000.00000001.00000100.00000000

192.1.5.0 = 11000000.00000001.00000101.00000000

5. What are the advantages of segmenting the network?

If one segment goes down then the rest are still active, which usually allows some of the business to
continue some functions if not all by redundancy.

When you start running out of IP addresses then segmenting allows you to create more.

Placing computers with certain access rights on one segment versus a public segment might be
beneficial

Segmenting could reduce congestion, isolate network problems, and improve security.
Now if you have a network segmented with routers then some advantages are: Media Transition,
broadcast control, packet filtering, Vlan communication, and large packets.

Benefits of network segmentation with switches would include:

Switches allow multiple data streams to pass simultaneously.

LAN switches are used to interconnect multiple LAN segments. LAN switching provides dedicated,
collision-free communication between network devices.

Collisions, Bandwidth, dedicated bandwidth and VLANS.

VLAN-LAN switches can group individual ports into logical switched workgroups called VLANs, thereby
restricting the broadcast domain to designated VLAN member ports.

6. Briefly describe the main purpose of reserving IP addresses.

This is to prevent IPv4 exhaustion. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following thrre blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prfix) Class A

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) Class B

192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) Class C

7. How will these IP addresses be distributed to the client workstations?

These will be distributed through a DHCP server. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
