I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Final Project Part 1. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Final Project Part Part Network Planning Question Based on the requirements, what subnet mask should be used for Subnets 0 - 11? Each department will have the maximum quantity of addresses.

The IP address selected by the company, i.e. 172.16.0.0 belongs to class B and thus, the associated subnet mask for this class is 255.255.240.0. The subnet bit for subnet 0-11 will be 3 and the subnet mask bit will be 19.

Question 4. Each router will use one of its Ethernet interfaces to communicate with the department LAN and two serial interfaces to communicate will other routers. As the final part of your design, you need to determine the IP addresses for the routers and serial interfaces. To do this, complete the table below:
