Riverina IT solution

Introduction
Riverina IT solution is a medium sized company which is growing and acquiring more territory. It is establishing six more branches which use private Internet Protocol addresses which is of network class A. This particular class is used private company IP address which requires privacy and can not be accessed from outside of the network. It can support up to 16 million per network and it has a total of 127 networks. It covers from 1.0.0.1 all through to 126.255.255.254 Riverina IT solution choose 10.0.0.0 network to host its 1100 workstations. This network has to be sub-divided to cover the six sites which have its own router per site. Subnet mask will be used to divide the network into subnets which will be used in each of the networks.
Riverina IT solution is a middle-sized company which offers it consultation services. They need a perfect network which has a very minimal number of downtime so as to serve their clients well. The private Internet Protocol address will offer the privacy which the organization wants. Because this network class A is not accessible to the general public.  The network should be subnetted into six subnets and also the number of hosts should be taken into consideration so that wastage can be avoided. The network should be subdivided so that the same network can be used in future just in case Riverina IT solution expands more and new branches need to be set up.

Procedures and Observation
The first step which needs to be taken into consideration is how many sites which Riverina IT solution, the number of sites will equal the number of subnets which will be required. Riverina IT solution has six branches namely Wagga Office which has 300 workstations. The second one is the Junee Office which has 130 workstations. The third branch is the Albury office which has 125 workstations. Griffith office is another branch of Riverina IT solution which has 120 workstations which is the smallest branch among the six. The fifth branch is known as Temora office which has 215 workstations. The last branch is Culcairn which has 150 workstations making the Riverina IT solution to have six branches which the 10.0.0.0 network has to subnetted among the branches.
I will use 255.255.254.0 sub-mask which as a maximum of 510 hosts per subnet which is perfect for the Riverina IT solution network. The mask bit will be 23 example of how it will look 10.0.1.1/23 that is how it will be when sub-mask 255.255.254.0 is used. 510 hosts per subnet are perfect for our network because our minimum number of hosts per branch is 120 and the maximum number of hosts per branch is 300 which belongs to Wagga office.

Calculation
I will handle the calculation to see which IP range belongs to each of the following Riverina IT solution branches.
Wagga office IP address range will be 10.0.0.1 – 10.0.1.254 the broadcast address is 10.0.1.254 and the subnet ID is 10.0.0.0
Junee office IP address range will be 10.0.2.1 – 10.0.3.254 and the broadcast address is 10.0.3.255 the subnet ID is 10.0.2.0.
Albury office IP address range will be 10.0.4.1 – 10.0.5.254 and the broadcast address is 10.0.5.255 the subnet ID is 10.0.4.0.
Griffith office IP address range will be 10.0.6.1 – 10.0.7.254 and the broadcast address is 10.0.7.255 the subnet ID is 10.0.6.0.
Temora office IP address range will be 10.0.8.1 – 10.0.9.254 and the broadcast address is 10.0.9.255 the subnet ID is 10.0.8.0.
Culcairn office IP address range will be 10.0.10.1 – 10.0.11.254 and the broadcast address is 10.0.11.255 the subnet ID is 10.0.10.0.

Analysis and Errors
Each of the six branches of Riverina IT solution branches has 510 hosts available for use which gives them available empty IP addresses to use in case the branches also expand and incorporate more hosts. These free hosts provide Riverina IT solution branches new source of life where they can also expand depending on the population which they serve.

Discussion
Riverina IT solution branches management will have enough hosts to expand for each branch and also they will be other many subnets which the business can use in case they expand and cover more ground which is a good thing for business also private IP address gives the organization the much-needed security.

Conclusion
In conclusion, Riverina IT solution decision to use private IP addresses for its branches is a great move because of the nature of the business which they are involved in they are given the privacy are also security hence giving their clients best services which are secure. The organization will also have enough IP address available for them to use in case they choose to expand and cover more market compared to their current position.
