IP ADDRESSING

 4.0 IP Addressing


For the cyber cafe network using VLSM subnetting.

The network requires IPs for 10 PCs, 1 server, 1 printer, and a few reserved IPs for future use.

(total = 20 hosts).

Use private IP range: 192.168.0.0/24

 

No. of bits: 

25 = 32 bits

 

No. of hosts per subnet:

2n - 2 = 25 - 2

         = 30 host

 

No. of Subnet Mask/CIDR:

32 – 5 = 27 bit (/27)

 

192.168.0.0/27

Network Address:   11000000 10101000 00000000 000||00000

NETWORK DIAGRAM SOFTWARE USED

Image
6.0 Network Diagram Software Used Step 1: List Out Network Devices The diagram was created using Microsoft Visio , a diagramming tool commonly used for designing network layouts. The user began by selecting the Basic Network Diagram template from the Network category, which provides a set of standard networking shapes and symbols. This template serves as the foundation for building structured and accurate representations of network topologies. K ey components such as PCs, a switch, a  router, a  server, a  printer, and wireless access points. Step 2:   Star Topology The network follows a star topology , where all PCs are individually connected to a central switch. This layout makes it easy to manage connections and isolate issues, as each device communicates through the central hub rather than directly with each other.  Using Visio's Connector Tool , each device was linked to the switch to complete the star topology structure. The switch also conne...
