Subnetting IP Address (Class C)
Subnetting IP Address (Class C)
Hallo Guys ,
i have a question,
Suppose you have 2 routers (R1 and R2), and you should build a network for a small company.
That company need 4 subnets , Subnet 1 must supply 14 hosts , subnet 2 supply 30 hosts , subnet 3 supply 62 hosts , subnet 4 supply 126 hosts.
One of the router have access to ISP that give the company an IP Address of Class C .
1.How would you design your LAN in that company?
2. I don't know how to make 4 subnets each with different amount of hosts ?
Because the formula said ...given an class C IP address, u will be able to make 4 subnets each with 64 hosts , or make 2 subnets each with 128 hosts.
And in my case I have 4 subnets each with different amount of host.
Thank you in advance
Jason
This is what I would do, keep in mind I am not Cisco certified or anything like that, just a computer hobbyist:
Use one router, then plug various switches into that so you have enough ports for all the computers
Setup 4 servers, one for each subnet
Internet IP address would be A.B.C.host
Subnet one server could be A.B.C-1.host
Subnet two server could be A.B.C-2.host
and so on
Then, on all the client computers, I would set them up for static IP's, It's a little harder/time consuming to setup, but you should have less problems in the long run
The data would flow between the client, to the server, change over subnets to match the router, and then out to the internet
