1. Both 255.255.0.0 and 255.255.255.0 subnet masks would work to create at least 20 networks with 160 hosts each from the Class A address of 29.0.0.0. 255.255.0.0 allows 256 subnets and over 64,000 hosts, while 255.255.255.0 allows 254 hosts per subnet. 2. To create 4 subnets with around 200 hosts each from the Class B address of 135.1.0.0, the easiest subnet mask to use is 255.255.255.0. This allocates 8 bits for subnets and 8 bits for hosts, allowing more than enough of both.

II Semester 2020-2021 Course Title : Computer Networks

Tutorial-8

1. You have been allocated a class A network address of 29.0.0.0. You need to create at
least 20 networks and each network will support a maximum of 160 hosts. Would the
following two subnet masks Work?

255.255.0.0 and or 255.255.255.0

Ans:

Yes both would work.

Mask 255.255.0.0 has 8 bits for the subnet and 16 bits for the host

8 bits would accommodate 28=256 subnets

16 bits would accommodate 216= over 64000 hosts

Mask 255.255.255.0 has 16 bits for the subnet and 8 bits of the host.

Have possible 28 -2 hosts =254 which is enough

2. You have been allocated a class B network address of 135.1.0.0 and and need to create 4
subnets each with around 200 hosts what is the easiest mask to use to satisfy the criteria?

Ans:

Easiest is to sub net on a byte boundary which would mean a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0

This would allocate 8 bits for the subnet and 8 bits for the host.

We need to accommodate around 200 hosts which requires 8 bits which we have.

We need 4 subnets which require 4 bits and we have 8 bits. So we have more than
enough.

3. You have been allocated a class C network address of 211.1.1.0 and are using the default subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0 how may hosts can you have?
Ans:
A class C address has 8 bits of the host which will give 28 -2 =254 hosts

4. Subnet the Class C IP Address 195.1.1.0 So that you have 10 subnets each with a maximum 12
hosts on each subnet. List the Address on host 1 on subnet 0,1,2,3,10

Ans:

Current mask= 255.255.255.0

Bits needs for 10 subnets =4 =24 =16 possible subnets

Bits needs for 12 hosts = 4 = 24 = 16-2=14 possible hosts.

So our mask in binary =11110000= 240 decimal

Final Mask =255.255.255.240

5. Fill the following table


6. Subnet the following IP Address 30.40.50.10/25 So that you have 16
subnets each with a maximum 6 hosts on each subnet.
