IP addressing scenario
IP Addressing Scenario

According to the scenario, the company will have a single, physical location with approximately145 hosts on the network. In this case, I would suggest using a class C address such as 192.168.0.0. Reason why is because you can put all the devices on a single subnet with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0/24. This would allow for 253 usable host addresses, which is more than needed in this case.
Whether you should dynamically or statically assign those IP’s goes, I suggest assigning it dynamically. Unless you don’t mind MANUALLY managing 218 hosts, you should definitely go with DHCP. The router will be well capable of handing out addresses for 145 hosts.
Since there is only one location used in this case, only one network should be used as it will only complicate things to have more than one network.
Since DHCP is being used as the suggestion, whether we should use a router and/or firewall, or utilizing Windows Server…the answer is yes. The router for dishing out the IP addresses and the firewall should be used for security purposes. Using Windows Server just for DHCP is rather overkill.
Using these suggested methods should also accommodate for at least 50% growth within the next few years.

To understand the functions of DNS and DHCP, first we must acknowledge their necessities. Humans in general are fairly decent at remembering certain numbers, like home addresses, phone numbers, and Social Securities. And even those simple tasks are becoming difficult for us because of technology doing all the remembering for us. We are becoming lazier and more dependent on computers. If we can’t even do these menial tasks efficiently, how would you expect us to remember dozens of IP addresses for websites? This brings to a solution. Also known as name resolution, it allows us to enter the name of a website, and then the resolution service finds the IP address for that website and directs the request to

    Yes, it is worth setting up DHCP for two, five, or even twenty five computers as long as the computer has a newer operating system to support it. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is an important protocol that lets network administrators manage centrally and automate the assignment of IP configurations on a computer network. The way DHCP works is that the DHCP server receives the request, assigns a new address for a specific time period and sends it to the client. I think setting up DHCP for your computers is worth doing because it has its advantages over manual configuration. These advantages include that each computer gets its configuration from a "pool" of available numbers automatically for a specific time period meaning no wasted numbers. Domain Name System (DNS) A hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates easily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide.…

    A simple design you can consider is 1 floor with a single data closet serving 150 users. You need a core network, networks for your firewall, DMZ, remote VPN clients, switch MGMT network, server network, voice network, wireless network and networks for other services you have not yet identified, like security, cameras, fire, door and video. You should have multiple domain servers and DHCP servers. While you can get away with using high end switches for DHCP, a couple windows servers will do the trick and give more insight when you are troubleshooting. Most systems can get along with DHCP, so that is fine, (some older systems still need host files) but there are support benefits to statically assigned addresses. In any case, you will want reserved space in these networks for your network devices, in exception to VLANs, redundant or clustered systems. For design, you could use the 10.1.0.0 address space using /21 (10.1.0.1 - 10.1.7.254) and for your subnet masking on the devices will naturally be 255.255.255. Reserve the first and last 20 or so addresses in each DHCP scope for statically assigned addresses and network devices / gateway addresses. Some examples would be, 10.1.0.0/24 for servers-all static, 10.1.1.0/24 for pc's printers usable for DHCP 10.1.1.21 - 10.1.1.230, 10.1.2.0/24 for wireless usable for DHCP 10.1.2.21-10.1.2.230, 10.1.3.0/24 for VoIP usable for DHCP 10.1.3.21 - 10.1.3.230 and 10.1.4.0 - 10.1.7.254 for future use. While you can cut back each network to a /25 giving 126 hosts per network, you may find yourself changing this sooner than expected.…

    From an IT management perspective, setting up a DHCP server would really depend on the size of the company. A DNS server could be recommended in any setting for faster browsing and recognition of sites. If your network is running the same Operating systems and it uses a name resolution method other than DNS, you can continue to use that method without needing DNS. If your network is running different operating systems, or it connects to the Internet, you will want to deploy DNS as the Internet consists of protocols that require DNS. Justifying setting up either server really depends on the admin, but if you think about it managing two computers statically is nothing compared to having to mange twenty computers statically.…

    For two computers it’s not worth setting up a DHCP because when the two computers want to access the Internet, they will be provided the first available IP address. If you have five computers it would be a great idea to setup a DHCP because with setting up a DHCP you could set permissions which monitors what the other computers could access the Internet for, how long they could be logged in using the Internet and their activities. Now, if there were twenty-five computers it would be perfect to have a DHCP because each computer will have its own IP Address and the IP address would never expire. Also, with a DHCP you could get permission in what any users is able to do in their specific accounts between the network computer and you are able to monitor the daily activities of each…

    static ip addressing

    • 355 Words

    The company that I am working for has been expanding and thusly has more equipment and personnel. We traditionally use static IP addressing but this is no longer sufficient. It is now time that we start using DHCP due to the fact that this will allow better functionality through the automatic addressing and leasing of IP addresses. More benefits of using DHCP are the massive amount of IP addresses that are available in DHCP and the fact that DHCP will automatically recall an IP address once the lease is up unless it is renewed. The difference in the amount of work required by network administrators is tremendous. Static IP addresses require network administrators to sit and recall or have a list of every single IP address that they have used for every computer in order to communicate back and forth for trouble shooting reasons as to where a DHCP will have that list already for you and you can even have a DNS so that way you will not have to have a list of IP addresses in order to understand which computer is where or to trouble shoot why a computer is having difficulty connecting to the network. Another big difference between the two is the how easy it is to use the command prompt in order to trouble shoot the DHCP server and from there be able to find where possible issues occur as to where static IP addresses are harder to trouble shoot and slow down the data transfer rate between systems. Another Advantage of DHCP is that network administrators can setup security protocols inside of The DHCP server in order to keep the system safer. A great example of this is one straight form our text books of how we can set up protocols to check for virus protection on computer systems so as to keep personal computers with potential viruses isolated from the rest of our network saving a lot of money, time, effort, personnel information, possible company secrets, and/or client secrets. In conclusion it is obvious that investing in a DHCP server is paramount to a growing…
