| Please I have this configuration, I allocated some addressing to them
but not sure if it's right.
can someone please help me out.
Specification,
I want 4 subnets,
The router has a local IP of : 172.20.128.253
The problem is, I'm having problems allocating IPs to the switches, the
last set of switches below will evebtually be connected to
workstations. All workstations are a total of 50, so I planned on
having 13 host in each of the 4 switches. Need to get what thier ranges
are.
Please, if this is a bad configuration, Please advice.
The configuration can be found here:

Thanks
N.B.
not neccesary, thought I include it, WAN IP : 193.106.211.11

| This is what I did initially,
I have this feeling it's wrong, read it. Just that I am not confident
enough.
Now the switch connected to the router will have an IP address of
172.20.128.254, but the gateway will be configured to the Local IP
address of the router; 172.20.128.253
=B7 To divide 172.20.128.254, to 4 subnets; the following process
are taken.
The formula 2n - 2 =3D No. of subnet required (where n =3D no. bits
to be removed from the host address)
172.20.128.254 =3D 10101100.00010100.10000000.11111110
Host address: 10000000.11111110
No. of bits to be taken out =3D 3 i.e. (100)
This is included to the network address to give the Subnet Mask;
(Since by convention, the bits for the network address are all set to
1, though it would also work if the bits were set exactly as in the
network address) =3D 11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000
To get the Starting pool (subnet address), we do a bitwise AND function
to the Subnet Mask & the IP address
We get; 10101100.00010100.100000000.00000000
Which is equivalent to; 172.20.128.0
So our IP range for the 5 switches will be 172.20.128.1 - 5.
Please, what I did is it anyway correct?
Thanks

Not quite sure why you want 4 subnets when all the switches and clients
are in the same remote office as per your pic. Assuming the network is a
class c then you can use 172.20.128.1 - 254 for switches or clients.

| so, you mean I can just hook up the workstation to the switches below,
and allocate IP addresses to the workstations from; 172.20.128.1 - 254
?

| I am assuming you need to have 172.20.128.1-254 subnet running on your
remote site.
If yes you can have following network topology which is simple to
configure and understand.
ISP
|
Router
|
Switch------------Switch-------------Switch
| | |
WORKSTATIONS
For this we can have 172.20.128.1. as default gateway for all system
and 172.20.128.2-254 would be your workstations IP.
Try and get back
Rate if help
