The IP address of the router’s Ethernet0 is 192.168.10.33/27.

As
you already know, a /27 is a 224 mask with a block size of 32.
The router’s interface is in the 32 subnet. The next subnet is 64,
so that makes the broadcast address of the 32 subnet 63 and the
valid host range 33–62.

Host IP address: 192.168.10.34–62 (any address in the range


except for 33, which is assigned to the router).
Mask: 255.255.255.224
Default gateway: 192.168.10.33

Answers to Written Lab 3

1. 172.16.10.5 255.255.255.128: Subnet is 172.16.10.0, broadcast is


172.16.10.127, and valid host range is 172.16.10.1 through 126. You need to
ask yourself, “Is the subnet bit in the fourth octet on or off?” If the host address
has a value of less than 128 in the fourth octet, then the subnet bit must be
off. If the value of the fourth octet is higher than 128, then the subnet bit must
be on. In this case, the host address is 10.5, and the bit in the fourth octet
must be off. The subnet must be 172.16.10.0.

2. 172.16.10.33 255.255.255.224: Subnet is 172.16.10.32, broadcast is


172.16.10.63, and valid host range is 172.16.10.33 through 10.62. 256 – 224 =
32. 32 + 32 = 64—bingo. The subnet is 10.32, and the next subnet is 10.64, so
the broadcast address must be 10.63.

3. 172.16.10.65 255.255.255.192: Subnet is 172.16.10.64, broadcast is


172.16.10.127, and valid host range is 172.16.10.65 through 172.16.10.126.
256 – 192 = 64. 64 + 64 = 128, so the network address must be 172.16.10.64,
with a broadcast of 172.16.10.127.

4. 172.16.10.17 255.255.255.252: Subnet is 172.16.10.16, broadcast is


172.16.10.19, and valid hosts are 172.16.10.17 and 18.256 – 252 = 4. 4 + 4 =
8, plus 4 = 12, plus 4 = 16, plus 4 = 20—bingo. The subnet is 172.16.10.16,
and the broadcast must be 10.19.

5. 172.16.10.33 255.255.255.240: Subnet is 172.16.10.32, broadcast is


172.16.10.47, and valid host range is 172.16.10.33 through 46.256 – 240 = 16.
16 + 16 = 32, plus 16 = 48. Subnet is 172.16.10.32; broadcast is 172.16.10.47.

6. 192.168.100.25 255.255.255.252: Subnet is 192.168.100.24, broadcast is


192.168.100.27, and valid hosts are 192.168.100.25 and 26.256 – 252 = 4. 4 +
4 = 8, plus 4 = 12, plus 4 = 16, plus 4 = 20, plus 4 = 24, plus 4 = 28. Subnet is
100.24; broadcast is 100.27.

7. 192.168.100.37 255.255.255.248: Subnet is 192.168.100.32, broadcast is


192.168.100.39, and valid host range is 192.168.100.33 through 38.256 – 248
= 8. 8 + 8 = 16, 24, 32, 40. Subnet is, then, 100.32, with a broadcast of 100.39
because 40 is the next subnet.

8. 192.168.100.66 255.255.255.224: Subnet is 192.168.100.64, broadcast is


192.168.100.95, and valid host range is 192.168.100.65 through 94.256 – 224
= 32. 32 + 32 = 64, plus 32 = 96. Subnet is 100.64, and broadcast is 100.95.

9. 192.168.100.17 255.255.255.248: Subnet is 192.168.100.16, broadcast is


192.168.100.23, and valid host range is 192.168.100.17 through 22.256 – 248
= 8. 8 + 8 = 16, plus 8 = 24. Subnet is 16, and broadcast is 23.

10. 10.10.10.5 255.255.240.0: Subnet is 10.10.0.0, broadcast is 10.10.15.255,


and valid hosts are 10.10.0.1 through 10.10.15.254.
Answers to Review Questions

1. C. A CIDR address of /22 is 255.255.252.0, which is a block size of 4 in the


third octet. We would keep counting by four until we passed the host address
of 210.0. Counting by fours, we would get our subnet number as 208.0 with a
broadcast address of 211.255.

2. B, C, E. This is a Class A address with a 255.255.252.0 mask. The third


octet has a block size of 4, and the host address in the question is in subnet 4,
so the valid hosts are 4.1 through 7.254.

3. C. This is a pretty simple question. A /28 is 255.255.255.240, which means


that our block size is 16 in the fourth octet. 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, etc. The host
is in the 64 subnet.

4. F. A CIDR address of /19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so


that is only 3 subnet bits, but 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8190
hosts.

5. B. If you use the mask 255.255.255.0, that only gives you 8 subnet bits, or
256 subnets. You are going to have to use 1 subnet bit from the fourth octet, or
255.255.255.128. This is 9 subnet bits (29 = 512).

6. A, D. To answer this, you must first know that a /20 is 255.255.240.0,


which means that there is a block size of 16 in the third octet. The summary
network in the third octet is 144 and the next summary network is 160, so the
valid range is 144.1 through 159.254.

7. D. A point-to-point link uses only two hosts. A /30, or 255.255.255.252,


mask provides two hosts per subnet.

8. C. A /21 is 255.255.248.0, which means we have a block size of 8 in the


third octet, so we just count by 8 until we reach 66. The subnet in this
question is 64.0. The next subnet is 72.0, so the broadcast address of the 64
subnet is 71.255.

9. B. This one takes some thought. 255.255.255.0 would give you 256 subnets,
each with 254 hosts—doesn’t work for this question. 255.255.254.0 would
provide 128 subnets, each with 510 hosts; the second option looks good.
255.255.252.0 is 64 subnets, each with 1022 hosts. So 255.255.254.0 is the
best answer.

10. C. A /29 is 255.255.255.248, which is a block size of 8 in the fourth octet.


The subnets are 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. 192.168.19.24 is the 24 subnet and
since 32 is the next subnet, the broadcast address for the 24 subnet is 31.
192.168.19.26 is the only correct answer.
11. B, C, E. A Class A network address with a /18 is 255.255.192.0. The
subnets in the third octet are 0, 64, 128, 192. The network address in the
question is 110.64.0.0, with a broadcast of 110.64.127.255, since the next
subnet is 110.64.128.0. Answers B, C, and E are correct host IDs.

12. B. You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask
255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts—this will not work. The
mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best
answer.

13. B, E. A mask of 255.255.255.0 will provide 256 subnets, each with 254
hosts. This will not work. We need more subnets, so we’ll move to the right and
take some bits from the host bits in the fourth octet. 255.255.255.128 (/25)
provides 512 subnets, each with 126 hosts. 255.255.255.192 (/26) provides
1024 subnets, each with 62 hosts.

14. A. A /25 mask is 255.255.255.128. Used with a Class B network, the third
and fourth octets are used for subnetting with a total of 9 subnet bits, 8 bits in
the third octet and 1 bit in the fourth octet. Since there is only 1 bit in the
fourth octet, the bit is either off or on—which is a value of 0 or 128. The host in
the question is in the 0 subnet, which has a broadcast address of 127 since
128 is the next subnet.

15. C. Start with 255.255.255.0. This provides 256 subnets, each with 254
hosts. Move the subnet bits right if you need more subnets; move them left if
you need more hosts. Since we need more hosts, we’re going to take away
subnet bits. The next mask then is 255.255.254.0, which provides 7 subnet
bits and 9 host bits, or 128 subnets, each with 510 hosts.

16. C. The default gateway is the subnet address and not a valid host ID.

17. E. A Class C subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 is 3 bits on and 5 bits off


(11100000) and provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. However, if the
command ip subnet-zero is not used, then only 6 subnets would be available
for use.

18. E. A Class B network ID with a /22 mask is 255.255.252.0, with a block


size of 4 in the third octet. The network address in the question is in subnet
172.16.16.0 with a broadcast address of 172.16.19.255. Only answer E even
has the correct subnet mask listed, and 172.16.18.255 is a valid host.

19. C. A Class B /20 mask is 255.255.240.0, which is 4 subnet bits and 12


host bits. Eight host bits is 256 (minus 2 is 254 hosts). Nine hosts bits is 256 +
256 = 512 (minus 2 is 510 hosts per subnet). Ten host bits is 512 + 512 = 1024
(minus 2 is 1022 hosts per subnet). Eleven hosts bits is 1024 + 1024 = 2048
(minus 2 is 2046 hosts per subnet). Twelve host bits is 2048 + 2048 = 4096
(minus 2 is 4094 hosts per subnet).

20. B, C, D. This question only looks somewhat difficult because Class A, B,


and C network addresses are listed. But they are only there to confuse you.
What is a /27? 255.255.255.224. This is the mask you will use regardless of
the class of address. Take out all the subnet and broadcast addresses and
you’re left with just the valid hosts.
