The network shown above illustrates a small network representing wired and wireless network segments. In the interest of space, the network design will only show three workstations. However, the actual network will have the following characteristics:

a. The subnet switch is a managed switch requiring an IP address.

b. There are to be 10 users in the office who also go out to the field to do sales work remotely.

c. Each user has a company-owned tablet device with Wi-Fi so the users can connect to the wireless network and synchronize their field-collected data.

d. The wireless router will require its own IP address

e. The network has a dedicated server.

f. The network also has a shared high-speed networked laser printer.

 

Develop an IP schema for the Sales subnet so that IP addresses are not wasted.

How many IP addresses will the network need? ________________
