Examine the use of the available network address space.
Determine how static routing could be applied to the network.
Scenario
In this lab, you have been given the network address 172.16.0.0/16 to subnet and provide the IP
addressing for the network shown in the Topology Diagram. The network has the following addressing
requirements:
The Branch 1 LAN will require 100 host IP addresses.
The Branch 2 LAN will require 100 host IP addresses.
The Branch 3 LAN will require 100 host IP addresses.
The Branch 4 LAN will require 100 host IP addresses.
The West LAN will require 400 hosts.
The East LAN will require 400 hosts.
The HQ LAN will require 500 host IP addresses.
The links between each of the routers will require an IP address for each end of the link.
The IP addresses for the link from the HQ router to the ISP have already been assigned. The Serial 0/2
address of the HQ router is 209.165.200.226/27. The IP address of the Serial 0/0 of the ISP router is
209.165.200.227/27.
Step 1: Subnet the 172.16.0.0 network into the appropriate number of subnets.
What will the subnet mask be for the subnetworks? 255.255.254.0 or /23
How many usable host IP addresses are there per subnet? 510
Fill in the following chart with the subnet information.
Step 2: Assign the subnets to the network shown in the Topology Diagram.
When assigning the subnets, keep in mind that routing will need to occur to allow information to be sent
throughout the network. The subnets will be assigned to the networks to allow for route summarization on
each of the routers.
1. Assign subnet 1 to the Branch 1 LAN subnet: 172.16.2.0 /23
2. Assign subnet 2 to the Branch 2 LAN subnet: 172.16.4.0 /23
3. Assign subnet 3 to the link between the Branch 1 and Branch 2 routers: 172.16.6.0 /23
4. Assign subnet 4 to the link between the Branch 1 and West routers: 172.16.8.0 /23
5. Assign subnet 5 to the link between the Branch 2 and West routers: 172.16.10.0 /23
6. Assign subnet 6 to the West LAN subnet: 172.16.12.0 /23
7. Assign subnet 7 to the link between the West and HQ routers: 172.16.14.0 /23
8. Assign subnet 8 to the HQ LAN subnet: 172.16.16.0 /23
9. Assign subnet 9 to the link between the HQ and East routers: 172.16.18.0 /23
10. Assign subnet 10 to the East LAN subnet: 172.16.20.0 /23
11. Assign subnet 11 to the link between the Branch 3 and East routers: 172.16.22.0 /23
12. Assign subnet 12 to the link between the Branch 4 and East routers: 172.16.24.0 /23
13. Assign subnet 13 to the link between the Branch 3 and Branch 4 routers: 172.16.26.0 /23
14. Assign subnet 14 to the Branch 3 subnet: 172.16.28.0 /23
15. Assign subnet 15 to the Branch 4 subnet: 172.16.30.0 /23

3. Assign the first valid host address in the link from West to Branch 1 subnet to the S0/0/1
interface.
4. Assign the first valid host address in the link from West to Branch 2 subnet to the S0/1/0
interface.
