Question#01:
Distribute the range of IP address equally among 7 companies. One of the IP address from the
range is [Link]/11. Which company owns the given IP address? Write down all subnets
with their network and broadcast addresses
Answer:
[Link]/11 has range from [Link] - [Link] with total 214 addresses
Now if I would like to divide the above subnet into 2 with 106 addresses each, then It would be
The 1st address is network address and last is broadcast address in any subnet. so including them
would be total IP addresses but those are not usable IP addresses, so now it will be 108-2 = 106
[Link]/12 - network address with range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/12 - broadcast address and 2nd one being [Link]/12 with range [Link]
- [Link]
Now divide into 12 - [Link]/13 with 16 addresses each
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
[Link]/13 range [Link] - [Link]
Likewise, you can divide one large subnet into multiple small subnets. You should know the rule
of octet and subnetting.
Subnets can be divided into groups (2,4,8,16…etc.) and each group can have
2,4,8,16,32,64,128,255,1204…., etc.
Question#02:
Distribute the block of IP addresses in to 6 departments. First two gets 400 IP addresses each.
Third department has 150 employees and 180 IP addresses are equally divided among last three
departments. One of the IP address from the block is [Link] /8. Which department the given IP
address belongs to and how many IP addresses will be left for future use
Answer:
Network Address Block: [Link]/8
Subnet Mask: [Link]
No. of Hosts/Subnet: 512
Number of Subnets: 32768
IP Address left for future use in IP block: 16777216 - 3072 = 16774144
