The Company is Given a Network Address 129.99.0.0/16, Develops a Variable-length: Networked System Architectures Assignment, NYP, Singapore

Objective:

The objective of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding of the role and operation of a variety of communication media and network devices and apply that knowledge to the design of simple systems. You are required to apply the concept of Network Operating Systems, their characteristics, and functions.

Part 1:

The table below shows the network requirement by a large company in multiple locations and buildings. The company is given a network address 129.99.0.0/16, develops a variable-length addressing scheme that best fits the design. The aim is to have a compact design to reserve as much free network space as possible for future use. Clearly illustrate your design by providing the following.

• Logical network diagram showing the IP addresses used by the various subnets.
• A table showing the network, broadcast, and network mask for each subnet.
• A discussion of any design considerations and constraints.
• The detailed working of how each subnet is calculated.

Part 2:

Cisco Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation program that allows users to experiment with network behavior. Based on your design from part 1, use Cisco. Packet Tracer to simulate the network environment by constructing and testing the network. You are free to use any other appropriate network simulator. Discuss with your lecturer to seek for approval. Your task is to:

• build up the network from part 1
• place appropriate hardware (e.g. switch, router, client, HTTP/FTP/email server and etc) within Me network
• configures the router
• test the connectivity with ping
