Network documentation

1. Network Topology Overview:

Three branches, each with:

- A router (CAIRO, GIZA, MAADI)

- A switch

- Connected end-user devices (PCs or laptops)

- DHCP automatically assigns IPs

3. DHCP Configuration Summary

Each router runs a DHCP pool to automatically assign IPs to local devices.

DHCP excludes the router’s IP as a default gateway and assigns remaining

usable ones.

4. Summary

- Every branch uses a /29 subnet (supports up to 6 hosts, can be edited later).

- Routers serve as DHCP servers and default gateways.

- Devices receive IPs dynamically in their subnet.

- IP ranges are non-overlapping and properly segmented.
