Scenario 1-3: Configuring IP VLSM for a Large Network

This scenario is slightly more complex. Figure 1-5 displays a network requiring a core network with a large number of routers (assume around 20), a distribution network with three routers, and an access network initially containing only six routers. The access network should have a potential for at most 25 routers (commonly known as access-level routers) to be connected through the distribution routers. Figure 1-5 displays the core network surrounded by three distribution routers and the six access-level routers.
