XZZ a learning institute having multiple sites , and wants to interlink its different sites to access
connectivity from the I.P address 192.168.10.0/24 creating 5 (five) different subnets.
.SOLUTION
The IP address being given belongs to class C having the first three octets for the network
portion while the fourth octet (8 bits) is reserved for the local subnets and host.
Each octet has 8 bits totaling up to 32 binaries all together
N N N HOST
The default address of this class can be showed by 255.255.255.0
Since there is only one octet i.e. the fourth octet being left for local subnets and host
The number of subnets = 2^3 = 8 after borrowing 3 bits from the from the fourth octet
The remaining bits is therefore used to get the total number of the host 2^5 = 32
But the exact number of host addresses that can be assigned to devices will be gotten by
2^5 - = 30 since host IDs of all ZEROS and all ONES are not allowed.
The following are the steps going to be taken while getting the new subnets;
TO get the new subnets we are going to increment 0 onto the default host number 32
Like
32 32
64 32
96 32 sequentially in that manner to get the new subnet address as illustrated in the tables
below.
