IP Subnetting (Logical Design)

Consider we are given the IP address 202.10.5.0/24 (Class C network)
The corresponding subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

We require 5 subnets ( 4 subnets for 4 research labs each with 25 IP addresses and 1
subnet for NCR with 5 IP addresses.)

Initially IP address is divided into 2 parts for 2 floor.

Assume IP address for first floor is 202.10.5.0/25 and for second floor is 202.10.5.128/25.

Applying VLSM for first floor research labs:

---------------------------------------------
2 ^ x >= 25
So, x = 5
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.224

no of network bits = 8 - 5 = 3
The subnet in first floor becomes:
Lab 1 = 202.10.5.0/27 - 30 hosts
Lab 2 = 202.10.5.32/27 - 30 hosts
Lab 3 = 202.10.5.64/27 - 30 hosts
Lab 4 = 202.10.5.96/27 - 30 hosts

Applying VLSM for second floor:

----------------------------------
2 ^ x >= 5
So, x = 3
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.248

no of network bits = 8 - 3 = 5

The subnet in first floor becomes:

NCR = 202.10.5.128/29 - 6 hosts

Guidelines to design proper network design

2. Estimate required devices and their specifications.
3. Estimate cost for the network design.
4. Create a network topology.
5. Determine number and type of devices to be connected to the network.
6. Secure the designed network using various security measures.
7. Backup and Redundancy to improve system reliability and availability.
