Scenario 1-2: Efficiently Configuring a Network for IP

Suppose you have been asked by a network architect to break up the Class B address 131.108.1.0/24 into four equal subnets that can be used to allow at most 62 hosts per subnet. In addition to this, you must use the address space 131.108.2.0/24 for all wide-area network (WAN) connections that use no more than two hosts per subnet. The network architect has also asked you to document all WAN addresses for future use.

Figure 1-4 displays the network topology graphically.
