CS610 Assignment 03

The document discusses two networking questions. For the first question, the solution is that a router connects two branches using different vendor products by performing internetworking between their networks. Routers establish passageways for information to pass between networks and protect networks by preventing traffic from crossing over. The second question provides the IP address 179.225.120.5 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and asks for networking details. The solution states that 8 bits are used for subnetting, there are 254 hosts in the subnet, the network address is 179.225.120.0, and the broadcast address is 179.225.120.255.

Question 01:

Q1: A task is assigned to network engineer to build a large network within two branches. Both branches are using different vendor products; he has to connect both branches. Which network device performs internetworking between them? Describe the functionality of device in four to five lines.

Solution:
Router is used to perform internetworking between these two branches. Router joins
networks collectively. Router establishes the proper passageway for information packets to pass from one network to the other network. Routers operate at the network layer. Routers protect the network from one to other, by preventing the traffic on one to slipping over the other network. Router ensures that the information reaches where it is needed.

Question 02:
Consider the IP addresses: 179.225.120.5 and the corresponding subnet masks 255.255.255.0, then find out the following:

Solution:
Question The number of bits used for subnetting Answer

a.

8 254 179.225.120.0 179.225.120.255 179.225.120.1 179.225.120.254 B

b. c.

Total number of host in the subnet The network address of the subnet.

d. Broadcast address for this subnet e. IP address of fist host on this subnet f. IP address of last host on this subnet g. Network Class :
