Packet Tracer Companion: Basic VLSM Calculation and
Addressing Design (6.4.1)
Packet Tracer
Companion
You can now open the file LSG02-Lab641.pka on the CD-ROM that accompanies this topic to repeat
this activity using Packet Tracer. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a
hands-on lab experience with real equipment. A summary of the instructions is provided within the
activity.
Activity 6-2: Challenge VLSM Calculation and
Addressing Design (6.4.2)
Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to
Determine the number of subnets needed
■
Determine the number of hosts needed for each subnet
■
Design an appropriate addressing scheme using VLSM
■
Scenario
In this activity, you have been given the network address 172.16.0.0/16 to subnet and provide the IP
addressing for the network shown in Figure 6-17. VLSM will be used so that the addressing require-
ments can be met using the 172.16.0.0/16 network.
The network has the following addressing requirements:
East network section:
■
The N-EAST (Northeast) LAN1 will require 4000 host IP addresses.
■
The N-EAST (Northeast) LAN2 will require 4000 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-BR1 (Southeast Branch1) LAN1 will require 1000 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-BR1 (Southeast Branch1) LAN2 will require 1000 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-BR2 (Southeast Branch2) LAN1 will require 500 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-BR2 (Southeast Branch2) LAN2 will require 500 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-ST1 (Southeast Satellite1) LAN1 will require 250 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-ST1 (Southeast Satellite1) LAN2 will require 250 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-ST2 (Southeast Satellite2) LAN1 will require 125 host IP addresses.
■
The SE-ST2 (Southeast Satellite2) LAN2 will require 125 host IP addresses.
■
West network section:
■
The S-WEST (Southwest) LAN1 will require 4000 host IP addresses.
■
The S-WEST (Southwest) LAN2 will require 4000 host IP addresses.
■
The NW-BR1 (Northwest Branch1) LAN2 will require 2000 host IP addresses.
■
The NW-BR1 (Northwest Branch1) LAN1 will require 2000 host IP addresses.
■
The NW-BR2 (Northwest Branch2) LAN1 will require 1000 host IP addresses.
■
The NW-BR2 (Northwest Branch2) LAN2 will require 1000 host IP addresses.
