Lab 10.3.
5d Subnetting a Class C Network
Objective
The objective of this lab is to provide a subnetting scheme using a Class C network.
Background / Preparation
This is a written exercise and is to be performed without the aid of an electronic calculator.
The Classical Academy has acquired a Class C address, 192.168.1.0. The academy needs to create
subnets to provide low level security and broadcast control on the LAN. It is not necessary to supply
an address for the WAN connection. It is supplied by the Internet service provider.
The LAN consists of the following, each of which will require its own subnet:
Classroom #1
28 nodes
Classroom #2
22 nodes
Computer lab
30 nodes
Instructors
12 nodes
Administration
8 nodes
Step 1 Given this Class C network address and these requirements answer the following
questions
How many subnets are needed for this network? _____________________________________
What is the subnet mask for this network?
1. Dotted decimal ________________________________________________________
2. Binary ________________ ________________ ________________ _______________
3. Slash format _____________________________________________________________
How many usable hosts are there per subnet?
______________________________________
Step 2 Complete the following chart
Subnetwork #
1-1
