HQ Network

112

172.20.4.0 255.255.255.128



RO1 Network

200

172.20.3.0 255.255.255.0

    Looks correct to me.

    At first glance looks like the block for RO2 is the right size, but there is an error.

    172.20.0.0 255.255.254.0 = 172.20.0.0/23
    You usable range for this mask is:
    172.20.0.0 - 172.20.1.255

    You have several addresses from 172.20.2.X in your R02 block. They don't fit the address allocation you gave that area.

    I have not checked any further.

    Oops phoebo is correct. Your mask for the RO2 network must be 255.255.252.0 for a usable range of 172.20.0.0 - 172.20.3.255 unless the zero subnet is usable.

    172.20.0.0/22 has 1022 host, 1020 usable, and 64 subnets available.

    I am re doing my math
    edit:
    dang it, to bad, i should not have had that drink, haha.
    now i have dirt on my face.

    Oh well it is Friday night and I worked hard this week, I am going to play a video game F, VLSM tonight!



    Edit

    172.20.0.0...... 172.20.0.3/30 2 user
    172.20.0.4...... 172.20.0.15/28 10 user
    172.20.0.16......172.20.0.31/27
    172.20.0.32 .....172.20.0.127/25
    172.20.0.128....172.20.0.191/26
    172.20.0.192....172.20.0.255/25
    172.20.1.0........172.20.0.127/25
    172.20.1.128.....172.20.1.255/25
    172.20.2.0....... 172.20.2.255/24
    172.20.3.0....... 172.20.3.255/23
    I am thinking that this could work, as you see from above it is friday night after a couple.

    Thanks to everyone for the advise, I see my mistake was calculating the RO2 address before the VLAN's. What I had done was calculated the RO2 network with the consideration for 306 users that led me to the mask of /23. After realising my mistake I see why it would not work, as there are over used host bits on every vlan which leads to the requirement of over 510.
