Configure a new routed network with three network segments.

You are given the IP address range 10.0.0.64/26 to use for this network. You need to split this network up into segments for each department, HR, SALES, and PROD. There will be 3 computers added per 2950T Switch and renamed to match the department name("HRSwitch", "SALESSwitch", "PRODSwitch"). A 2811 Router will be added for each network switch available and renamed to pair with that department's switch ("HRRouter", "SALESRouter", "PRODRotuer"). The three routers will then be connected to a single switch renamed "RouterSwitch".

Determine the smallest sized network segment that will hold the hosts from each VLAN using VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Mask). Define the Network ID, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for each Network (HR, SALES, PROD, Router).

Network Name Network ID Subnet Mask Default Gateway
HR 10.0.0.x/xx
SALES 10.0.0.x/xx
PROD 10.0.0.x/xx
Router 10.0.0.64/26 255.255.255.192 10.0.0.64

The Subnet Mask for the Network 10.0.0.64 /26 IP Range is 255.255.255.192. Which gives us 10.0.0.65 as our First Usable IP and 10.0.0.126 as our Last Usable IP with 10.0.0.127 being our Broadcast IP. A total of 64 IP Addresses with only 62 Usable IPs for our Hosts.

I would like to know how to discover how to split each department into their own Network Segments based on this information. We have 3 Computers per Network Switch minus the "RouterSwitch". A total of 9 Computers split evenly among the 3 departments. We want to create 3 separate Network Segments from the initial given IP of 10.0.0.64/26.

After determining the Network Segments above, we will assign Static IP Addresses to the hosts on our network.

Hostname IP Address
HR0
HR1
HR2
HRRouter
SALES0
SALES1
SALES2
SALESRouter
PROD0
PROD1
PROD2
PRODRouter
