VLSM Addressing

Problem 18
A small company needs to set up its network across several locations. The New York branch office
needs 15 computers. The San Jose office needs 66 computers. The Trinidad office will need 18
computers. The WAN links between all three locations need to be included. Using the IP address
195.20.5.0/24 divide the network using VLSM. On the opposite page draw a detailed map of this network.
Include the sub-subnet IP addresses for each branch of the network with the subnet mask. Label the WAN
links with the same information. Complete the information required below. Work from largest to smallest.
