Part 1: Subnetting Design


The allocated network block, 192.168.0.0/22, offers 1024 IP addresses, which are divided into
four /24 subnets. By implementing Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM), the IP space is
efficiently managed to minimize waste.

Subnet Requirements

 Headquarters Departments:
o Management: 40 devices → /26 (62 usable IPs)
o Sales: 70 devices → /25 (126 usable IPs)
o IT: 110 devices → /25 (126 usable IPs)
o HR: 25 devices → /27 (30 usable IPs)
 Branch A:
o Hosts: 60 devices → /26 (62 usable IPs)
o Servers: 10 devices → /28 (14 usable IPs)
 Branch B:
o Hosts: 40 devices (reserved for up to 100 devices) → /25 (126 usable IPs)
 Branch C:
o Hosts: 20 devices → /27 (30 usable IPs)
 WAN Links:
o Three point-to-point links → /30 (4 IPs per link)

Part 3: Network Diagram


(Include a detailed network diagram illustrating the headquarters, branches, WAN links, IP
allocations, and subnet boundaries.)

Part 4: Routing Configuration


Selected Routing Protocol: OSPF
Reason for Choosing OSPF:
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is chosen due to its scalability, support for large networks, and
compatibility with VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking). It ensures efficient and dynamic
routing, making it ideal for the size and complexity of this network.

Sample OSPF Configuration for Each Router:

 HQ Router Configuration:
 router ospf 1
 network 192.168.0.0 0.0.3.255 area 0
 network 192.168.2.80 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 192.168.2.84 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 192.168.2.88 0.0.0.3 area 0
 Branch A Router Configuration:
 router ospf 1
 network 192.168.1.96 0.0.0.63 area 0
 network 192.168.1.160 0.0.0.15 area 0
 network 192.168.2.80 0.0.0.3 area 0
 Branch B Router Configuration:
 router ospf 1
 network 192.168.1.176 0.0.0.127 area 0
 network 192.168.2.84 0.0.0.3 area 0
 Branch C Router Configuration:
 router ospf 1
 network 192.168.2.48 0.0.0.31 area 0
 network 192.168.2.88 0.0.0.3 area 0

Part 5: Scalability Plan

1. Accommodating Additional Branches:


o Subnets: Reserve IP ranges in the 192.168.3.0/24 block for future branch offices.
o WAN Links: Use /30 subnets for point-to-point connections to ensure efficient IP
utilization.
2. Planning for Increased Device Counts:
o Branch B: Sufficient IPs are already reserved for future growth.

Page | 3
o Other Branches: Reallocate larger subnets or consolidate underutilized subnets
to accommodate more devices as needed.
3. Testing and Maintenance:
o Regularly test routing configurations to verify connectivity and scalability.
o Continuously monitor network performance to identify areas for improvement
and ensure readiness for future expansion.
