Ashford University Foundations Of The TCP IP Architecture Essay

Foundations of the TCP/IP Architecture

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review Chapters 1, 11, and 12 in the textbook and view the ISM642 TCP/IP Subnetting video

For this assignment you will be reviewing the scenario below and then building the associated Class C TCP/IP ranges for each of the required subnets.

Andrew’s Biometrics Corp (ABC) is a new organization in downtown Dallas. It has a total of 70 employees in a building with five floors. Each floor has a wiring closet with a router connected to an Ethernet switch. All the routers are connected using a fiber backbone. The company servers with sensitive information and developers are located on the first floor. The fifth floor is the location of all the executive offices. All users are directly connected to the Ethernet switch using Category 6 cables. ABC purchased a Class C TCP/IP address (193.4.5.x), and they want to create five subnets for security reasons.

In your paper, you will explain a portion of the design of ABC’s TCP/IP network. Compute the IP range for each of the five subnets and explain the layout of the network with appropriate justifications for your plan. Access your virtual lab environment and create a diagram using Visio to visually represent the proposed network. Include the diagram as an image within your document. (The Visio diagram may be included in your assignment by means of a screenshot pasted into your document prior to submission. Assistance with capturing a screenshot of your Visio may be found at Take-a-screenshot.org.)
