VLSM IP Addressing Plan Assignment You have been contracted to design a network for a new computer Manufacturing company. The company plans to have locations across the United States with the headquarters located in Charleston. The production sites will house factory workers, support staff, and IT staff. There will also be two smaller sales offices.

After interviewing corporate executives you determine the following information:

There are 5 total locations connected by WAN links
HQ will have 100 employees with anticipated growth of 100 employees at that location
Site A - a production site will have 500 nodes with anticipated growth of 50% in the next year.
Site B - a production site will have 1200 nodes with an anticipated growth of 30% over the next 2 years.
Site C - The North East sales office will connect to HQ via VPN. 30 network nodes will be needed initially with an anticipated growth of an additional 100% in six months.
Site D - The South West sales office will connect to HQ via VPN. 40 nodes will be needed initially with anticipated growth of an additional 300% over the next year.

Design an addressing scheme that will allow for an additional 50% increase in nodes at all sites in case the company grows faster than anticipated. Use private IPv4 address 172.16.0.0 as NAT will be implemented in this company.
Put your IP addressing calculations into a spreadsheet with the following headings:
Include enough WAN connections in the addressing scheme to reach all current networks. (WANs do not need to scale)
