Discussion Forum – Minicase on IP Addressing

Post your answers to the questions at the end of the case in the DF for this module.

Central University

Suppose you are the network manager for Central University, a medium-sized university with 13,000 students. The university has 10 separate colleges (e.g., business, arts, journalism), 3 of which are relatively large (300 faculty and staff members, 2,000 students. and 3 buildings) and 7 of which are relatively small (200 faculty and staff. 1.000 students, and 1 building). ln addition. there are another 2,000 staff members who work in various administration departments (e.g., library, maintenance, finance) spread over another 10 buildings. There are 4 residence halls that house a total of 2,000 students. Suppose the university has the 128.100.xxx.xxx address range on the internet. How would you assign the IP addresses to the various subnets? How would you control the process by which lP addresses are assigned to individual computers? You will have to make some assumptions to answer both questions. so be sure to state your assumptions.
