Case Study
College has hired various venues in London and is in the process of setting up a teaching centre to run Business MBA courses. PC access requirements of the business are as follows:
o Teaching Class with 25 computers
o Lecture hall with 60 data points
o Admin office with upto 5 machines
o Admissions office which will have 5 machines.
o Management pod with 2 pcs
Question 1
You have been given the IP Address range of 192.168.1.0/25. Using the principles of VLSM create a suitable addressing scheme for the business network. For each subnet you should list:
o Network address
o Broadcast address
o First and last usable address
o Subnet mask
You should aim to waste as few addresses as possible.
Create a network simulation in Packet Tracer and demonstrate the application of your subnetting by configuring a Multiuser switch, VLANs and various end user devices.
Produce screenshots and configuration file listings as evidence of your work. All work should be annotated.
Question 2
By referencing credible sources where appropriate, explain the role of routing/routers in networking and its primary functions including:
• Determining the best path to send packets
• Forwarding packets towards their destination
