IP ADRESSING FOR THE NETWORK

1. Provide a subnetting scheme for different floors and departments. 

GROUND FLOOR (MARKETING)

    
The diagram shows a star topology LAN with a central switch (192.168.1.3) connecting PCs, a wireless access point (192.168.1.15), and a printer (192.168.1.14) via unique IPs. It ensures efficient communication, resource sharing, and integration of wired and wireless devices.    

    • Subnet                    : 192.168.1.0/27
    • Network Address   : 192.168.1.0
    • Broadcast Address : 192.168.1.31
    • Usable Host Range : 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.30
    • Remaining IPs (192.168.1.16 - 192.168.1.30) will be reserved for future expansion.



FIRST FLOOR (DEVELOPMENT)


The diagram depicts a star topology LAN with a central switch (192.168.1.33) connecting PCs and a wireless access point (192.168.1.44), all assigned unique IPs. The setup supports efficient communication, resource sharing, and integration of wired and wireless devices, ensuring seamless connectivity.        

    • Subnet                    : 192.168.1.32/27
    • Network Address   : 192.168.1.32
    • Broadcast Address : 192.168.1.63
    • Usable Host Range : 192.168.1.33 - 192.168.1.62
    • Remaining IPs (192.168.1.45 - 192.168.1.62) will be reserved for future expansion.



SECOND FLOOR (FINANCE)

    
The diagram illustrates a star topology LAN. A central TP-Link SG1024D switch (192.168.1.65) connects multiple devices, including computers and two printers (192.168.1.66) and (192.168.1.67). A Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite (192.168.1.73) access point provides wireless connectivity. Each device is assigned a unique IP address within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, enabling communication and resource sharing

    • Subnet                    : 192.168.1.64/28
    • Network Address   : 192.168.1.64
    • Broadcast Address : 192.168.1.79
    • Usable Host Range : 192.168.1.65 - 192.168.1.78
    • Remaining IPs (192.168.1.74 - 192.168.1.78) will be reserved for future expansion.

2. Calculate and assign network, broadcast, and host address 

SUMMARY TABLE OF VLSM-ASSIGNED NETWROKS




FULL LAYOUT OF SUBNETTING



The diagram illustrates a network infrastructure. The Internet, with the IP address 203.0.113.1, connects to a router (192.168.1.1). The router serves as the gateway between the external internet and the internal network. Next, the router is connected to a firewall, which is essential for security. The firewall helps prevent unauthorized access by filtering both incoming and outgoing traffic, ensuring the network remains secure. From the firewall, the connection moves to a core network switch (192.168.1.2). The core switch acts as the central hub, linking the various department switches. Multiple switches and routers are connected to the core switch, forming a distributed network. This structure allows for efficient traffic flow and scalability. Various devices, including PCs and printers, are connected to the switches and access points. The network utilizes a consistent IP addressing scheme, likely within a private IP range, enabling communication and resource sharing across different segments.
