Consider the network above, a routed network in an organizations enterprise network. The
organization built a core network (network F) connected to a central router (R1), and connected a
router (R2) with (long-haul) switched Ethernet (network E). The access routers (R3 to R6) are
connected to a set of local offices (networks A to D). The host H1, connected to network F, performs
various traffic monitoring tasks. All networks use Ethernet on the link layer.
The enterprise allocated prefix 60.88.16.0/21 for its internal addresses.
Make an address allocation using 60.88.16.0/21 in the network by assigning a sub-block to each
network A-F in the following way:
f) The networks A through C require 250 hosts each, while network D requires 450 hosts. Create
a minimal block for each local office A through D. Start with the lowest address for network
A.
g) There are no unnumbered point-to-point links: all Ethernet networks have IP sub-networks and
all nodes (routers and hosts) have an IP address on all their network interfaces. All nodes need
to be reachable from any other host.
h) The address allocation should be such that the sub-networks can be aggregated.
i) Each sub-network should not be larger than necessary in order to accommodate all hosts in the
sub-network.
Based on your address allocation, provide the required entries of the forwarding table of router R1!
Give a sketch of your reasoning to support your solution. (30p)
