Objectives
Part 1: Determine IPv4 Address Subnetting
Part 2: Calculate IPv4 Address Subnetting
Background / Scenario
The ability to work with IPv4 subnets and determine network and host information based on a given IP
address and subnet mask is critical to understanding how IPv4 networks operate. The first part is designed to
reinforce how to compute network IP address information from a given IP address and subnet mask. When
given an IP address and subnet mask, you will be able to determine other information about the subnet.

Reflection Question
Why is the subnet mask so important when analyzing an IPv4 address?
The subnet mask is a combination of a 32-bit number that is created by setting all host bits to be 0s
and all network bits into 1s. The subnet mask is important in analyzing the different parameters
needed when observing an IPv4 Address since from the subnet mask, we would be able to
determine the CIDR notation. Moreover, through the subnet mask, the network address, the usable
host IP range, and the broadcast address will be determined.
