Network Design for 250 Computers

The document outlines the steps to design a network for 250 computers using the IP address range 202.61.0.0/25. It explains the need to change the subnet mask to /24 to accommodate 256 addresses, allowing the organization to assign IP addresses from 202.61.0.1 to 202.61.0.250. Additionally, it details the network configuration, including the router setup and an addressing table for the devices.

To design the organization's network using the assigned IP address range

[Link]/25 for 250 computers, the following steps can be taken:


1.​ Determine the subnet mask:
○​ The /25 CIDR notation means that 25 bits are used for the network address, leaving
7 bits for host addresses (32 - 25 = 7).
○​ This provides 2^7 = 128 available IP addresses.
○​ Since 128 addresses are not enough to accommodate 250 computers, it is
necessary to use a smaller subnet.
○​ To accommodate 250 hosts, at least 8 bits for the host part is needed (2^8 = 256,
which is greater than 250).
○​ Thus, the subnet mask needs to be changed to /24.
​

2.​ Adjust the IP address range:


○​ With a /24 subnet mask, the network address becomes [Link]/24.
○​ This provides 2^8 = 256 IP addresses, ranging from [Link] to [Link].
​

3.​ Assign IP addresses:


○​ The organization can use the IP address range [Link] to [Link] for the
250 computers.
○​ The IP address [Link] is reserved for the network address, and [Link] is
reserved for the broadcast address.
​

4.​ Network design:


○​ A router can be configured with the IP address [Link] as the gateway for the
local network.
○​ The computers can be connected to the router through a switch.
○​ Each computer will be assigned a unique IP address within the range of [Link]
to [Link], along with the subnet mask [Link] and the gateway IP
address [Link].
​
