The purpose of this exercise is to work out the IPv4 and IPv6 subnet sizes needed for each link and building in the following simple campus. Along with the subnet size, also assign a suitable address block to service the subnet.
Consider the following simple network (very similar to example in the presentation):
Fill out the IPv4 and IPv6 subnet sizes for each network in the following table.
Once you have worked out the subnet sizes, assign an address block to each subnet:
For IPv4, make your subnet assignments from the 172.16.8.0/22 space.
For IPv6, make your subnet assignments from the 2001:DB8:8::/48 space.
| Network | Number of Devices | IPv4 Subnet Size | IPv4 Address Block Assignment | IPv6 Subnet Size | IPv6 Address Block Assignment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Router to Router interconnect | 2 | ||||
| Server Network | 35 | ||||
| Science Building | 100 | ||||
| Library | 200 | ||||
| Literature Building | 60 | ||||
| Administration Building | 40 | ||||
| Wireless Network | 200 |
Note the number of devices in the Literature Building. What do you think would be the ideal subnet size for those, and why?
Once the table is completed, write down the:
Minimum size of IPv4 address block required for the campus
Minimum size of IPv6 address block required for the campus
