Network Design (practice question)

Hi All

I’m trying to re-sharpen my networking skills, I don’t do much networking in my current job, and have been there for 10 years. A bit of backround - I had my CCNA which expired 5 years ago, and worked in with Cisco Routers and Switches in my previous job.

I’m eyeing a new networking role and going through practice scenarios. I’m given a scenario to design an office with four floors, each will have a hundred devices requiring wire and wireless connections. Assume a worker will undock their laptop and use a wireless connection.

Going into this, I figure I keep things simple and use a /25 mask providing 126 usable hosts.

Usable host range for each floor -

192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.126 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.126 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.126 192.168.3.1 - 192.168.3.126

Am I going down the right path? I’m a bit unclear how I would design the wireless and wired connections. Would I create 2 vlans isolating each with a DHCP pool?

I look forward to any feedback!
