Acn 3

The document discusses subnetting a network to efficiently allocate IP addresses across three locations of an organization with 128 devices. It is determined that using a CIDR of 24 or 255.255.255.0 would allow creating subnets to allocate the required 128 IP addresses. Subnets are designed with IP address ranges for each of the three locations.

Practical No : 03

Aim : Design network using the sub networking .

Theory:

IP ADDRESS:

Every device that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique IP address, enabling data sent
over the Internet to reach the right device out of the billions of devices connected to the
Internet. There are currently 2 versions of IP addresses: IPv4 (32-bit), and IPv6 (128-bit
hexadecimal). IPv4 varies from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255, and are divided into 4 classes.

NETWORK:

When 2 or more computers are connected to each other is called a network. They are linked
in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic
communications.
SUBNETWORK:

Sub network means a network within a network. They help in increasing efficiency of
network.

Subnetting means dividing host id into 2 parts, subnet ID (common for a subnetwork), and
host ID (device ID/number). It allows efficiently using all the allocated IP address. Thus,
allowing proper use of allocated resources.

.
For subnetting a network, a subnet mask is required, which is decided based on class of IPv4
address, 255.0.0.0 for Class A; 255.255.0.0 for Class B; 255.255.255.0 for class C. These are
represented as “/8”, “/16”, and “/24” respectively.

Case Study:

An organization/institute with branches spread across 3 locations over the country, requires
subnetting its allocated IP addresses to efficiently use the resources. The institute has 128
devices/machines spread across 3 locations. Location A has 32 devices/machines, location B
has 64 devices/machines, and lastly, Location C has 32 devices/machines. Design sub
networks for this organization/institute, which has been allocated 192.35.68.56 as its IP
address.

Given that the organization/institute requires 128 different IP addresses for its
devices/machines spread across 3 locations, it is deduced that CIDR is 24 or 255.255.255.0,
i.e. 24 leftmost bits are 1 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000). Thus, we can now
create sub networks with 128 devices/machines.

Location A (32 devices/machines)

IP address range: 192.35.68.1 to 192.35.68.33 (32 IP addresses)

Location B (64 devices/machines)

IP address range: 192.35.68.34 to 192.35.68.99 (192.35.68.56 is reserved for server)

Location C (32 devices/machines)

IP address range: 192.35.68.100 to 192.35.68.132 (32 IP addresses)

Conclusion:
Thus, we have designed sub networks for an organization/institute with 128
devices/machines, spread across 3 locations, whose IP address is 192.25.68.56
