1. There is a class B address that must be initially divided into 25 subnets with a
minimum of 1000 hosts in each subnet. It is planned to go up to 55 subnets. What mask of
Which subreddit should be used?
1000 hosts/subnet is approaching 1024 hosts/subnet
55 subnets approaches 64 subnets
With 64 subnets, each subnet will have: 256*256 hosts/64 subnets = 1024 hosts/subnet
(requirement fulfilled)
2^n = 64 => n=6
The mask will be:
/16 (default class B) + 6 = /22
[Link]
2. Convert [Link] to hexadecimal
BE-A7-0B-0C
3. The IP address [Link] with a subnet mask /21, which subnet does it belong to and what is its
broadcast?
[Link] 00110|011 00001100
[Link] 11111|000 00000000 Applying the AND operator results in:
00110
110 in decimal is 6, so the address belongs to subnet 6.
21 - 16 = 5 => 2^5 = 32 subnets
Hosts/subnet = 256*256/32 = 2048 hosts/subnet
To determine the broadcast:
2048 * 7 = 14336 - 1 = 14335 => 37-FF = 55.255
The broadcast will be: [Link]
4. The IP address [Link] has lent 7 bits to the network part. How many subnets and how many
Are hosts per subnet possible to form?
Loan: 7 bits for the subnets:
2^7 = 128 subnets
Host/subnet = 256*256 / 128 = 512 host/subnet
5. Given the address [Link] with subnet mask [Link] indicate the maximum amount
subnets that can be created and the number of hosts that would be in each of them
[Link] = /28
28 - 24 = 4 => No. Subnets = 2^4 = 16 subnets
256 hosts / 16 subnets = 16 hosts / subnet
6. The network [Link] with a subnet mask of [Link] is divided into subnets using the mask
[Link]. Indicate the number of resulting subnets and how many hosts are lost as a result of
subnetting
New mask: [Link] = /24
Number of subnets: 24 - 8 = 16 ==> 2^16 = 65536 subnets
Hosts that are lost: 65536 * 2 = 131072
7. Set the necessary parameters (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway) for a workstation.
of work belonging to network [Link]. 13 subnets are needed and the workstation will be
in the fourth subnet
13 subnets approaches the immediate superior: 16 subnets
Class C: 256 host/subnet
Number of host/subnet: 256 Hosts / 16 subnets = 16 hosts/Subnet
Fourth subnet, it will be number 3
3 * 16 = 48
[Link]
[Link]
IP Address: Any in the range: [Link] to [Link]
8. E7B2C78C
E79159C8
9. What would be the CIDR notation for the following subnet masks?
a) [Link] /18
[Link] Not Valid
c) [Link] /23
10. ¿Cuántas subredes produce la siguiente máscara: [Link] en redes de clase A, B y C?
[Link] = /28
Class A: 28 - 8 = 20 then 2^20 = 1048576 Subnets
Class B: 28 - 16 = 12 then 2^12 = 4096 subnets
Class C: 28 - 24 = 4 then 2^4 = 16 Subnets
11. For the following networks, obtain the subnet mask in CIDR format.
Network [Link] 7 subnets and about 25 hosts per subnet
Class C, default mask /24
25 hosts/subnet approaches 32 hosts/subnet
256 hosts / 32 hosts/subnet = 8 subnets
2^n = 8, then n = 3
24 + 3 = 27
b) Network [Link] 120 hosts per subnet
Class C, default mask: /24
120 hosts/subnet is close to 128 hosts/subnet
256 hosts / 128 hosts/subnet = 2 subnets
2^n = 2, then n = 1
24 + 1 = 25
Network [Link] 30 subnets
Class C, default mask: /24
30 hosts/subnet approaches 32 hosts/subnet
2^n = 32, then n = 5
24 + 5 does not equal 29
Net [Link] 55 hosts per subnet
Class C, default mask: /24
55 hosts/subnet approaches 64 hosts/subnet
256 hosts /64 hosts/subnet = 4 subnets
2^n = 4, then n = 2
24 + 2 = 26
[Link]/27
that network?
[Link] C
[Link] 11100000 applying the AND operator, we have:
010
The address belongs to subnet 2
27 - 24 = 3 => 2^3 = 8 subnets
256 hosts/8 subnets = 32 hosts/subnet
Broadcast of subnet 2: 3 * 32 - 1 = 95 [Link]
13. For the network [Link], find the mask that allows us to have 1000 usable subnets.
60 useful hosts, each of them.
Class B, default mask: [Link]
Host number: 256*256
60 usable hosts + 2 unassignable = 62, rounds up to 64 hosts/subnet
256*256 hosts / 64 hosts/subnet = 1024 subnets
2^n = 1024, then n = 10 (8+2)
The mask will be: [Link]
14. For the network [Link], how many bits will be borrowed to have 250 usable subnets?
250 subnets is close to 256 subnets
2^n = 256, then: n = 8
8 bits will be provided
15. How many useful IP addresses do we find in a /25 mask applied to addresses of the
class A, B, and C?
Class A: 25 - 8 = 17 2^17 = 131072
256*256*256/131072 = 128 – 2 = 126
Class B: 25 - 16 = 9 2^9 = 512
256*256/512 = 128 - 2 = 126
Class C: 25 - 24 = 1 2^1 = 2
256/2 = 128 - 2 = 126
16. For the address [Link] /26 what is the subnet identification number for the tenth
useful subreddit?
Class B: Default mask: /16
26 - 16 = 10
Number of subnets: 2^10 = 1024
Hosts/Subnet = 256*256/1024 = 64 Hosts/Subnet
Tenth useful subnet: 11 * 64 = 704 = 2C0 (Hexadecimal) = 2.192
ID. Tenth Subnet: [Link]
17. Indicate whether the following IP addresses are valid or not. If they are not, state the reason:
[Link] Broadcast address
[Link]
[Link] Class C address, must use 24 bits one
[Link]
in the mask
c) [Link] Correct address
[Link]
d) [Link] Reserved class, experimental use
