branches. The departments have 8,10,5,2, and 7 staff respectively at the HQ and 1,2,1 respectively in
branches.

Objectives

 To subnet 172.20.0.0/16 in to 16 networks.

 Determine the number of hosts needed for each subnet.
 Determine the number of subnets needed.
 Design an appropriate addressing scheme using VLSM.
 Assign IP configurations to device interfaces.

Background / Preparations
This lab explores the use of VARIABLE LENGTH SUBNET MASK (VLSM) and CLASSLESS INTER DOMAIN
ROUTING (CIDR) to meet the needs of a network topology. In this lab, you will assess the topology,
determine the addressing scheme to meet its needs, and prepare documentation for the addressing.
You have been assigned the 172.20.0.0 /16 network to address this network.
