Create a 1-page network diagram showing the components and devices needed to build a simple office network based on the following scenario:
- 50 employees, half Sales office and half Business office users
- 2 subnets - Separate LANs within the office 30 hosts per subnet (25 employees, 1 printer and 2 servers, and 2 more available addresses.
- 2 network printers, one per subnet
- 1 connection to the WAN/Internet
- One core router with 2 Ethernet interfaces (one for each existing subnet) and one Serial for WAN
- Each subnet using one switch for all hosts
- Plan for growth for up to 6 subnets - which do not need to be in the diagram
Identify the different collision and broadcast domains on your network diagram. In your diagram, draw a green circle around each collision domain and a red circle around each broadcast domain.
Developa subnet scheme using this address: You have been assigned an IP address and subnet mask: 192.168.111.0 /24. Plan to support two subnets, and allow for growth to as many as 6 subnets in the future.
Subnet 1 (not subnet zero) will be used to provide a range of IP addresses for the Sales office users connected to a switch. The switch will connect to an Ethernet interface on the core router. Subnet 2 will be used to provide a range of IP addresses connected to the other Ethernet interface of the core router with a switch for the Business office users. The router IP addresses on the Ethernet ports for both networks will be the last useable IP address from the respective network. The Sales and Business office each will have one printer per network. It will be assigned the first useable IP address for the respective networks.
Writea summary discussing how to determine the number of host and subnets needed for this task and how to determine the custom subnet mask. Include the following as part of the summary:
- A table identifying for each subnet, the subnet address, subnet mask in dotted decimal, highest useable address, lowest useable address, and broadcast address
- The IP address, subnet mask and gateway address for the printer in the Sales office and the printer in the Business office
- Your network diagram should show the addressing scheme for the router, switches, servers, and printer interfaces and the network addresses for the two existing subnets.
- Recommended connectivity protocols to the WAN and for future expansion using 2 additional routers within the organization.
