Assignment
Design Scenario
An organization has six offices at different locations in three different cities as described below
A. Los Angeles
The Main office is located in Los Angeles where the majority of users are located. It hosts 35 servers, seven routers with 17 active interfaces, 20 switches with 26 switch management and Layer 3 interfaces, four Firewalls with 12 active Interfaces, 600 IP phones and 600 workstations.
B. Kansas City
1. Regional Office
The Kansas City regional office connects to the Los Angeles main office. It hosts seven servers, four routers with 10 active interfaces, four switch management and Layer 3 interfaces, no Firewalls, 210 IP phones and 210 workstations.
2. Remote Office 1
The remote office 1 in Kansas City connects to the Kansas City regional office. It hosts one server, one router with two active interfaces, one switch management interfaces, no Firewalls, 12 IP phones and 12 workstations.
3. Remote Office 2
The remote office 2 in Kansas City connects to the Kansas City regional office. It hosts one server, one router with three active interfaces, one switch management interfaces, no Firewalls, 15 IP phones and 15 workstations.
C. Dallas
1. Regional Office
The Dallas regional office connects to the Los Angeles main office. It hosts five servers, four routers with 10 active interfaces, four switch management and Layer 3 interfaces, no Firewalls, 155 IP phones and 155 workstations.
2. Remote Office 3
The remote office 2 in Dallas connects to the Kansas City regional office. It hosts 1 server, one router with three active interfaces, one switch management interfaces, no Firewalls, eight IP phones and eight workstations.
You are given a class B address 172.16.0.0/16 for the organization. You need to divide the given address space into subnets such that your address plan meets the requirements of different sites. In your design, you need to consider address hierarchy, VLSM, route summarization and size of each network for the address planning.
A. Create a table with columns for information about the location and required IP addresses for different types of devices and/or interfaces.
In the table, also show the total number of IP addresses required for the devices, total number of IP addresses that you allocate for each subnet and the range of IP addresses allocated for each site with their subnet masks.
B. Where (if any) will you use route summarization in the network and why? Also, show the summary route information for those sites.
