Problem 4

Problem 4: IP Addresses You have been hired as part of a team to set up a computer network for a small company in Vermont. You expect to have three buildings in your company, and you need to: (25 points) a) Request from your ISP (such as Comcast or Verizon) a range of IP addresses to provide for all the employees in the company (their office equipment as well as personal phones and tablets they may bring from home) b) Set up three additional subnets within this range, one subnet for each building. Company Information 250 employees and you want to allow for each employee to have 5 IP addresses (this is generous, and so also accounts for printers, visitors, and all other IP needs) The three buildings will hold i. 50 employees ii. 30 employees iii. 170 employees You know a local caf has assigned you the IP address of 45.42.168.23 when you are in the caf, so you expect to have your company's IP address range to have the same higher order bits (you need to figure out how many) as this caf IP address (since your company will be geographically close to the caf). Your task (to hand in for the exam): What is the network mask you request from your ISP (the Comcast or Verizon type company in the region)? How many addresses does this provide you with? Within this range, what are the subnet masks you assign to each building in your company? a) b) c) d) How many IP addresses are you providing to each building
