You are given the IP address 192.168.10.
0/24 and need to create 2
subnets. What are the subnet addresses, subnet masks, and ranges
for each subnet? Create LAN with 23rd Subnet holding 10 hosts using
one switch.
Solution:
1. Step 1: Identify the IP Class and Default Subnet Mask
o The given IP [Link] is a Class C IP address.
o The default subnet mask for a Class C address is [Link]
or /24.
2. Step 2: Calculate the Required Subnet Mask
o You need to divide the network into 4 subnets. To do this, we
need to borrow bits from the host portion of the IP address.
o To create 4 subnets, you need to borrow 2 bits (since 2^2 = 4).
o This means the new subnet mask will be /26 (24 original bits + 2
borrowed bits = 26).
3. Step 3: Calculate the New Subnet Mask
o The new subnet mask for /26 is: [Link].
4. Step 4: Subnet the Network Now, divide the network
[Link]/24 into subnets with the new mask /26:
o Subnet 1:
Network Address: [Link]/26
Subnet Mask: [Link]
Usable IP Range: [Link] - [Link]
Broadcast Address: [Link]
o Subnet 2:
Network Address: [Link]/26
Subnet Mask: [Link]
Usable IP Range: [Link] - [Link]
Broadcast Address: [Link]
o Subnet 3:
Network Address: [Link]/26
Subnet Mask: [Link]
Usable IP Range: [Link] - [Link]
Broadcast Address: [Link]
o Subnet 4:
Network Address: [Link]/26
Subnet Mask: [Link]
Usable IP Range: [Link] - [Link]
Broadcast Address: [Link]
Summary:
Subnet Mask: [Link] or /26
Total Subnets: 4
Usable IP Ranges:
o Subnet 1: [Link] - [Link]
o Subnet 2: [Link] - [Link]
o Subnet 3: [Link] - [Link]
o Subnet 4: [Link] - [Link]
