VLSM Addressing

Problem 1
Using the network diagram and information given create an addressing
scheme which utilizes variable-length subnet masks. Show the subnet
address and subnet mask in the boxes below, color or shade the subsubnets
used in the box. This company will be using the class C address
192.168.10.0. Remember to start with your largest groups first.

Practical Subnetting 1
Based on the information in the graphic shown, design a network addressing scheme that
will supply the minimum number of subnets, and allow enough extra subnets and hosts
for 100% growth in both areas. Circle each subnet on the graphic and answer the
questions below.
IP Address 172.16.0.0
