Project Description

XUMUC has WAN links in place at their new location in the Columbia Region.  XUMUC currently has 2 other regional locations, in Largo and Laurel.  Originally, XUMUC was only located in one region (Largo).  The previous consultant did a poor job with the integration, resulting in a poor IP address scheme.  As a result routing tables at the summarization points at the Largo campus are very large.  In addition, no VLAN structure was developed to isolate broadcast traffic and there has been some concern that the WAN transport was not able to accommodate the network traffic.  Finally, all addresses in the network are statically assigned resulting in high administrative overhead, even when minor changes are implemented. For the next expansion phase, XUMUC would like this changed to lower administrative overhead.  There are 4 main departments in XUMUC: sales, finance, human resources, and research and development.  For assigning IP addresses you can pick any one from the following network addresses.

172.16.0.0/16

172.17.0.0/16

172.18.0.0/16

172.19.0.0/16

172.20.0.0/16

10.10.0.0/16

10.5.0.0/16

10.6.0.0/16

10.7.0.0/16

10.8.0.0/16

            IP ADDRESSING TABLE

Your paper should address the following XUMUC Network Issues.

• Create VLAN, as appropriate, to minimize and Isolate broadcast traffic.
• Reduce WAN Traffic
• Develop a new IP scheme summarizing at points shown in the diagram
