Objectives
Part 1: Examine the Network Requirements
Part 2: Design the VLSM Addressing Scheme
Part 3: Assign IP Addresses to Devices and Verify Connectivity
Background
In this activity, you are given a /24 network address to use to design a VLSM addressing scheme. Based on a set of requirements, you will assign subnets and addressing, configure devices and verify connectivity.
Part 1: Examine the Network Requirements
Step 1: Determine the number of subnets needed.
You will subnet the network address [[DisplayNet]]. The network has the following requirements:
- [[S1Name]] LAN will require [[HostReg1]] host IP addresses
- [[S2Name]] LAN will require [[HostReg2]] host IP addresses
- [[S3Name]] LAN will require [[HostReg3]] host IP addresses
- [[S4Name]] LAN will require [[HostReg4]] host IP addresses
How many subnets are needed in the network topology? 5
Step 2: Determine the subnet mask information for each subnet.
- Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for [[S1Name]]?
- How many usable host addresses will this subnet support?
- Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for [[S2Name]]?
- How many usable host addresses will this subnet support?
- Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for [[S3Name]]?
- How many usable host addresses will this subnet support?
- Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for [[S4Name]]?
- How many usable host addresses will this subnet support?
- Which subnet mask will accommodate the number of IP addresses required for the connection between [[R1Name]] and [[R2Name]]?
Part 2: Design the VLSM Addressing Scheme
Step 1: Divide the [[DisplayNet]] network based on the number of hosts per subnet.
- Use the first subnet to accommodate the largest LAN.
- Use the second subnet to accommodate the second largest LAN.
- Use the third subnet to accommodate the third largest LAN.
- Use the fourth subnet to accommodate the fourth largest LAN.
- Use the fifth subnet to accommodate the connection between [[R1Name]] and [[R2Name]].
Step 2: Document the VLSM subnets.
Complete the Subnet Table, listing the subnet descriptions (e.g. [[S1Name]] LAN), number of hosts needed, then network address for the subnet, the first usable host address, and the broadcast address. Repeat until all addresses are listed.
Subnet Table
Note: The correct answers for this table are variable depending on the scenario received. Refer to the Answer Notes at the end of these instructions for further information. The format here follows what the student used in Designing and Implementing a VLSM Addressing Scheme.
Subnet Description | Number of Hosts Needed | Network Address/CIDR | First Usable Host Address | Broadcast Address |
Step 3: Document the addressing scheme.
- Assign the first usable IP addresses to [[R1Name]] for the two LAN links and the WAN link.
- Assign the first usable IP addresses to [[R2Name]] for the two LANs links. Assign the last usable IP address for the WAN link.
- Assign the second usable IP addresses to the switches.
- Assign the last usable IP addresses to the hosts.
Part 3: Assign IP Addresses to Devices and Verify Connectivity
Most of the IP addressing is already configured on this network. Implement the following steps to complete the addressing configuration.
Step 1: Configure IP addressing on [[R1Name]] LAN interfaces.
Step 2: Configure IP addressing on [[S3Name]], including the default gateway.
Step 3: Configure IP addressing on [[PC4Name]], including the default gateway.
Step 4: Verify connectivity.
You can only verify connectivity from [[R1Name]], [[S3Name]], and [[PC4Name]]. However, you should be able to ping every IP address listed in the Addressing Table.

Answer Notes:
The following addressing tables represent the three possible addressing scenarios the student may get. Note that the Device column is independent of the addressing scheme. For example, a student could receive the device names from Scenario 1 and the addressing scheme from Scenario 3. In addition, the three possible topologies are also independent of the device names and the addressing scheme (click reset in the activity to see the different topologies). Therefore, this activity uses three independent variables with three possible values each for a total of 27 possible combinations (3 device names x 3 addressing schemes x 3 topologies = 27 isomorphs).

Use this calculator if the numerators or denominators are very big integers.
In mathematics, a fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole, while the denominator is the total number of parts that make up said whole. For example, in the fraction
, the numerator is 3, and the denominator is 8. A more illustrative example could involve a pie with 8 slices. 1 of those 8 slices would constitute the numerator of a fraction, while the total of 8 slices that comprises the whole pie would be the denominator. If a person were to eat 3 slices, the remaining fraction of the pie would therefore be
as shown in the image to the right. Note that the denominator of a fraction cannot be 0, as it would make the fraction undefined. Fractions can undergo many different operations, some of which are mentioned below.
Addition:
Unlike adding and subtracting integers such as 2 and 8, fractions require a common denominator to undergo these operations. One method for finding a common denominator involves multiplying the numerators and denominators of all of the fractions involved by the product of the denominators of each fraction. Multiplying all of the denominators ensures that the new denominator is certain to be a multiple of each individual denominator. The numerators also need to be multiplied by the appropriate factors to preserve the value of the fraction as a whole. This is arguably the simplest way to ensure that the fractions have a common denominator. However, in most cases, the solutions to these equations will not appear in simplified form (the provided calculator computes the simplification automatically). Below is an example using this method.
This process can be used for any number of fractions. Just multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by the product of the denominators of all the other fractions (not including its own respective denominator) in the problem.
An alternative method for finding a common denominator is to determine the least common multiple (LCM) for the denominators, then add or subtract the numerators as one would an integer. Using the least common multiple can be more efficient and is more likely result in a fraction in simplified form. In the example above, the denominators were 4, 6, and 2. The least common multiple is the first shared multiple of these three numbers.
Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8 10, 12 |
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12 |
Multiples of 6: 6, 12 |
The first multiple they all share is 12, so this is the least common multiple. To complete an addition (or subtraction) problem, multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by whatever value will make the denominators 12, then add the numerators.
Subtraction:
Fraction subtraction is essentially the same as fraction addition. A common denominator is required for the operation to occur. Refer to the addition section as well as the equations below for clarification.
Multiplication:
Multiplying fractions is fairly straightforward. Unlike adding and subtracting, it is not necessary to compute a common denominator in order to multiply fractions. Simply, the numerators and denominators of each fraction are multiplied, and the result forms a new numerator and denominator. If possible, the solution should be simplified. Refer to the equations below for clarification.
Division:
The process for dividing fractions is similar to that for multiplying fractions. In order to divide fractions, the fraction in the numerator is multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator. The reciprocal of a number
a is simply
. When a is a fraction, this essentially involves exchanging the position of the numerator and the denominator. The reciprocal of the fraction
would therefore be
. Refer to the equations below for clarification.
Simplification:
It is often easier to work with simplified fractions. As such, fraction solutions are commonly expressed in their simplified forms.
for example, is more cumbersome than
. The calculator provided returns fraction inputs in both improper fraction form, as well as mixed number form. In both cases, fractions are presented in their lowest forms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
Converting between fractions and decimals:
Converting from decimals to fractions is straightforward. It does however require the understanding that each decimal place to the right of the decimal point represents a power of 10; the first decimal place being 10
1, the second 10
2, the third 10
3, and so on. Simply determine what power of 10 the decimal extends to, use that power of 10 as the denominator, enter each number to the right of the decimal point as the numerator, and simplify. For example, looking at the number 0.1234, the number 4 is in the fourth decimal place which constitutes 10
4, or 10,000. This would make the fraction
, which simplifies to
, since the greatest common factor between the numerator and denominator is 2. Similarly, fractions with denominators that are powers of 10 (or can be converted to powers of 10) can be translated to decimal form using the same principles. Take the fraction
for example. To convert this fraction into a decimal, first convert it into the fraction
. Knowing that the first decimal place represents 10
-1,
can be converted to 0.5. If the fraction were instead
, the decimal would then be 0.05, and so on. Beyond this, converting fractions into decimals requires the operation of long division.
