5c Subnetting a Class B Network
Objective
The objective of this lab is to provide a subnetting scheme using a Class B network
Background / Preparation
This is a written lab and is to be performed without the aid of an electronic calculator.
ABC Manufacturing has acquired a Class B address, 172.16.0.0. The company needs to create a
subnetting scheme to provide the following:
36 subnets with at least 100 hosts
24 subnets with at least 255 hosts
10 subnets with at least 50 hosts
It is not necessary to supply an address for the WAN connection since it is supplied by the Internet
service provider.
Step 1 Given this Class B network address and these requirements answer the following
questions
How many subnets are needed for this network? ______________________________________
What is the minimum number of bits that can be borrowed? ______________________________
What is the subnet mask for this network? __________________________________________
1. Dotted decimal ___________________________________________________________
2. Binary ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________
3. Slash format _____________________________________________________________
How many usable subnetworks are there? __________________________________________
How many usable hosts are there per subnet? _______________________________________
Step 2 Complete the following chart listing the first three subnets and the last 4 subnets
Subnetwork #
Subnetwork ID
Host Range
Broadcast ID
What is the host range for subnet two? ____________________________________________
What is the broadcast address for the 126th subnet? __________________________________
What is the broadcast address for the major network? _________________________________
