Task 1: Examine the Network Requirements
Examine the network requirements and answer the questions that follow. Keep in mind that IP
addresses will be needed for each of the LAN interfaces.
How many subnets are needed?
8
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that are needed for a single subnet?
31
How many IP addresses are needed for each of the branch LANs?
16
What is the total number of IP addresses that are needed?
101
Task 2: Design an IP Addressing Scheme
Subnet the 192.168.1.0/24 network into the appropriate number of subnets.
Can the 192.168.1.0/24 network be subnetted to fit the network requirements?
no
If the “number of subnets” requirement is met, what is the maximum number of hosts per subnet?
30
If the “maximum number of hosts” requirement is met, what is the number of subnets that will be
available to use?

Task 3: Reflection
You do not have enough address space to implement an addressing scheme. Research this problem
and propose a possible solution. Increasing the size of your original address space is not an acceptable
solution. (Hint: We will discuss solutions to this problem in Chapter 6, “VLSM and CIDR.”)
Attempt to implement your solution using Packet Tracer. You can now open the file LSG02-
Lab354.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this topic to apply and verify your addressing scheme.
Check to see that all devices on directly connected networks can ping each other.

Successful implementation of a solution requires that
Only the 192.168.1.0/24 address space is used.
■
PCs and routers can ping all IP addresses.
