branch office. As part of CSI’s centralized surveillance network design, IP cameras will stream
across the WAN and be recorded by Cisco VSMS at CSI’s main data center. IP surveillance
cameras will be placed on their own subnet to separate them from other voice and data traffic.
CSI’s network administrator has allocated this subnet for IP cameras: 172.16.0.0 (subnet mask:
