Recently, two new interns have joined your network team. They are having a hard time testing to see if there is overlap in a VLSM scheme on your network and troubleshooting problems that arise. They are also unsure how to add a new subnet to an existing network. You are tasked with helping them, so you decided to create a Training Guide for them using a PowerPoint® presentation that shows the step-by-step processes for adding a new subnet as described in Ch. 22. a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation containing 14 to 16 slides, including Introduction, Conclusion, and Reference slides. Includedetailedspeaker notes with each slide. The presentation should include: All references need to adhere to APA guidelines, and images should not be copied unless author permission is obtained or copyright free images are used.
Title: VLSM Scheme Troubleshooting and Adding New Subnets: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction:
– Welcome interns to the network team and the importance of VLSM scheme testing and troubleshooting.
– Explain the objectives of the presentation: understanding VLSM overlap testing, troubleshooting techniques, and adding new subnets to an existing network.
Slide 1: Overview
– Briefly explain the VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) concept.
– Highlight the significance of VLSM in maximizing IP address utilization.
Slide 2: VLSM Scheme Testing
– Discuss the importance of testing for overlap in a VLSM scheme.
– Describe the step-by-step process for testing VLSM overlap using network addressing and subnet mask calculations.
– Provide an example scenario to illustrate the process.
Slide 3: Troubleshooting VLSM Scheme
– Present a systematic approach to troubleshooting VLSM-related issues.
– Highlight common problems and their potential causes.
– Explain troubleshooting procedures using network diagnostic tools such as ping and traceroute.
Slide 4: Adding a New Subnet
– Introduce the process of adding a new subnet to an existing network.
– Discuss the importance of proper planning and addressing considerations.
Slide 5: Step 1: Identify the Subnetting Requirements
– Explain the importance of understanding the network’s future growth and scalability needs.
– Discuss the factors that influence subnetting requirements, such as the number of hosts and network topology.
Slide 6: Step 2: Choose the Appropriate Subnet Mask
– Introduce the different subnet masks available and their implications.
– Discuss considerations in selecting an appropriate subnet mask based on the identified requirements.
Slide 7: Step 3: Calculate Subnet Addresses
– Explain the process of calculating subnet addresses using the chosen subnet mask.
– Provide examples of subnet address calculations based on different addressing scenarios.
Slide 8: Step 4: Allocate Subnet Addresses
– Describe the process of allocating subnet addresses to network devices.
– Discuss the importance of keeping track of assigned subnets and available addresses.
Slide 9: Step 5: Configure Routing and Switching Devices
– Explain the configuration changes required on routing and switching devices to accommodate the new subnet.
– Highlight the necessity of updating routing tables and ensuring connectivity between subnets.
Slide 10: Step 6: Verify Connectivity
– Discuss the importance of testing and verifying connectivity between the new subnet and the existing network.
– Describe testing methods, such as ping and traceroute, to ensure proper network communication.
Slide 11: Conclusion
– Recap the main points discussed in the presentation.
– Emphasize the significance of VLSM testing and troubleshooting skills for network administrators.
– Encourage interns to seek further training and practice to improve their expertise in VLSM management.
Slide 12: References
– Provide a list of APA formatted references used in creating the presentation.
– Emphasize the importance of citing and obtaining permission for any copyrighted material used.
Note: The remaining slides will contain detailed speaker notes elaborating on the content presented on each slide, providing additional explanations, examples, and references to external resources.
