Ip Address Scenario

Decent Essays

Unit 1 Exercise 1 IP address scenario There are many factors involved in this scenario. For example, the building may lend itself to certain network designs. You may have multiple floors or a single floor. Multiple data closets or just one. You may have virtualized servers or desktops. You will want to accommodate all these into your design. 50% may seem like too much now, but realistically, 200 or 300% might be more acurate. A simple design you can consider is 1 floor with a single data closet serving 150 users. You need: A core network Networks for your firewall, dmz, remote vpn clients, etc switch mgmt network server network voice network wireless network networks for other services you have not yet identified, like …show more content…

If you can imagine wanting multiple networks for servers in the future for security reasons, this makes sense. You may not want to lump your security camera video servers in the same network as your email server. You may want a dedicated development network. You may have remote users that don't need access to all servers. Things like that will influence your final design. Another recommendation would be to leave 10.1.0.0/21 for network usage. Then make 10.1.8.0/21 for your access. This can be carved up as above, 10.1.8.0/24 for pc's, 10.1.9.0/24 for voip and so on. You can also go with smaller chunks if you are planning multiple data closets. 10.1.8.0 /22 would give 10.1.8.0 - 10.1.11.254 with a/24 network for pc,s voip, other then floor 2 10.1.12.0/22 10.1.12.0 - 10.1.14.254. In any case, your design needs to be flexible enough to handle massive change without needing a complete overhaul. If you have 50 pc's per network now and you allow for 254 and you have separate networks already in place for voip, wireless and 4 other networks that can be carved into smaller networks as needed, you will have enough to go around without redesigning anything for a long time. There are lots of pages available on classless and classful addressing. Please let me know if this was helpful or if you need anything else. Remember that using 10. address space is not necessary, you can use 172.29.x or 192.168.x as well. It is just a little more flexible if
