Quiz Question 1
You have been given the network 172.30.0.0/16. Your company requires
100 subnets with at least 500 hosts per subnet.
Answer:
- Prefix:
/23 - Network:
172.30.0.0/23 - Subnet mask:
255.255.254.0
Quiz Question 2
What subnet does host 172.21.111.201/20 belong to?
10101100.00010101.01101111.11001001 (IP)
10101100.00010101.01100000.00000000 (Network)
Answer: 172.21.96.0/20
Quiz Question 3
What is the broadcast address of the network 192.168.91.78/26?
11000000.10101000.10110011.01001110 (IP)
11000000.10101000.10110011.01111111 (Broadcast)
Answer: 192.168.91.127
Quiz Question 4
You divide the 172.16.0.0/16 network into 4 equal subnets.
Identify the network and broadcast addresses.
Subnet 1
- Network:
172.16.0.0/18 - Broadcast:
172.16.63.255
Subnet 2
- Network:
172.16.64.0/18 - Broadcast:
172.16.127.255
Subnet 3
- Network:
172.16.128.0/18 - Broadcast:
172.16.191.255
Subnet 4
- Network:
172.16.192.0/18 - Broadcast:
172.16.255.255
Quiz Question 5
You divide the 172.30.0.0/16 network into subnets of 1000 hosts each.
Answer: 64 subnets
Subnetting Class A Networks
The process of subnetting Class A, B, and C networks is exactly the same.
Example 1
You are given the network 10.0.0.0/8.
You must create 2000 subnets.
Solution
Answer:
- Prefix:
/19 - Usable hosts:
8192 - 2 = 8190
Example 2
PC1 has IP address 10.217.182.223/11
Subnet Details
- Network:
10.192.0.0/11 - Broadcast:
10.223.255.255 - First usable:
10.192.0.1 - Last usable:
10.223.255.254 - Usable hosts:
2,097,150
VLSM (Variable-Length Subnet Masks)
- Previously, we used FLSM (Fixed-Length Subnet Masks)
- All subnets had the same prefix length
- VLSM allows different subnet sizes for better efficiency
- More flexible, slightly more complex
Example (VLSM Design)
Tokyo Lan A = 110 Hosts --- Tokyo Lan B = 8 Hosts
|
Router
|
Router
|
Toronto Lan A = 29 Hosts --- Toronto Lan B = 45 Hosts
We must divide 192.168.1.0/24 into 5 subnets:
- Tokyo LAN A → 110 hosts
- Tokyo LAN B → 8 hosts
- Toronto LAN A → 29 hosts
- Toronto LAN B → 45 hosts
- Point-to-point link
Steps
- Assign largest subnet first
- Continue in descending order
- Repeat until done
Allocation Order
Tokyo A → Toronto B → Toronto A → Tokyo B → Point-to-point
Tokyo LAN A
- Network:
192.168.1.0/25 - Broadcast:
192.168.1.127 - Usable:
192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.126 - Hosts: 126
Toronto LAN B
- Network:
192.168.1.128/26 - Broadcast:
192.168.1.191 - Usable:
192.168.1.129 – 192.168.1.190 - Hosts: 62
Toronto LAN A
- Network:
192.168.1.192/27 - Broadcast:
192.168.1.223 - Usable:
192.168.1.193 – 192.168.1.222 - Hosts: 30
Tokyo LAN B
- Network:
192.168.1.224/28 - Broadcast:
192.168.1.239 - Usable:
192.168.1.225 – 192.168.1.238 - Hosts: 14
Point-to-Point
- Network:
192.168.1.240/30 - Broadcast:
192.168.1.243 - Usable:
192.168.1.241 – 192.168.1.242 - Hosts: 2
