In this lab, we investigate the management of a notional (and very simplified) VLAN-based distribution layer backbone network. The startup software development firm you work for occupies three floors of an office building. The firm is structured as a matrixed organization, with development teams composed of a software engineer (SE), a tester/quality assurance engineer (QA), and a marketing/sales/business development representative (MSB). These teams sit together in bullpen areas, with 2 teams on each floor. This integrated product team approach works well in many ways, but presents a challenge for network administration. While traditional networks are often segmented according to physical location, this network needs to be segmented according to function, with the SE, QA and MSB members being connected to their own function-oriented subnets. Fortunately, the building has already been equipped with a VLAN-capable switch on each floor, with VLAN Switch 1 including a connection to a traditional router, as pictured in the figure. The router includes NAT capability, assigning private IP addresses within the building network in the 192.168.x.x range. Beth (QA) Alex (SE) Carl (MSB) Dora (SE) Edna (QA) Fran (MSB) Gary (SE) Hans (QA) VLAN Switch 1 Router VLAN Switch 3 VLAN Switch 2 Jose (SE) Kent (QA) Lucy (MSB) Mary (SE) Nora (QA) Opal (M58) Paul (SE) Quin (QA) Rita (MSB) Irma (MSB) Your job is to assign VLAN IDS and IP addresses consistent with a network segmentation scheme such that each SE member belongs to a subnet which includes all other SE members, each QA member belongs to a subnet which includes all other QA members, and each MSB member belongs to a subnet which includes all other MSB members. There are many possible correct schemes, but the solution set is limited by the IP addressing range, subnetting rules and VLAN address space. Turn-in Requirements: To complete the assignment, answers to questions and a table or clearly readable list identifying the VLAN ID and IP address for each employee as identified in the figure as your submission for this lab in Blackboard. 1. What are three differences between VLANS and subnets? What are your VLAN IDs? What is the IP range associated with each VLAN ID? Completed table of VLAN IDs and IP addresses for each employee 2. 3. 4. Sample Assignment Solution Response Format: Alex (SE) Beth (QA) Rita (MSB) VLAN ID: VLAN ID: VLAN ID: IP: 192.168. IP: 192.168.
