Objectives
Part 1: Design an IPv4 Network Subnetting Scheme
Part 2: Configure the Devices
Part 3: Test and Troubleshoot the Network
Background / Scenario
In this activity, you will subnet the Customer network into multiple subnets. The subnet scheme should be based
on the number of host computers required in each subnet, as well as other network considerations, like future
network host expansion.
After you have created a subnetting scheme and completed the table by filling in the missing host and interface
IP addresses, you will configure the host PCs, switches and router interfaces.
After the network devices and host PCs have been configured, you will use the ping command to test for
network connectivity.

How many host addresses are needed in the largest required subnet? 50
Type your answers here.
What is the minimum number of subnets required? The requirements stated above specify two
company networks plus two additional networks for future expansion. So, the answer is a minimum
of four networks.
The network that you are tasked to subnet is 192.168.0.0/24. What is the /24 subnet mask in binary?
1111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
Type your answers here.
e. The subnet mask is made up of two portions, the network portion, and the host portion. This is represented
in the binary by the ones and the zeros in the subnet mask.
Questions:
In the network mask, what do the ones represent? The ones represent the network portion.
Type your answers here.
In the network mask, what do the zeros represent? The zeroes represent the host portion.
Type your answers here.
f. To subnet a network, bits from the host portion of the original network mask are changed into subnet bits.
The number of subnet bits defines the number of subnets.
Questions:
Given each of the possible subnet masks depicted in the following binary format, how many subnets and
how many hosts are created in each example?
Hint: Remember that the number of host bits (to the power of 2) defines the number of hosts per subnet
(minus 2), and the number of subnet bits (to the power of two) defines the number of subnets. The subnet
bits (shown in bold) are the bits that have been borrowed beyond the original network mask of /24. The /24
is the prefix notation and corresponds to a dotted decimal mask of 255.255.255.0.

Type your answers here.
Considering your answers above, which subnet masks meets the minimum number of subnets
required? /26, /27, /28, /29, /30 will give the required number of subnets.
Type your answers here.
Considering your answers above, which subnet mask meets both the required minimum number of
hosts and the minimum number of subnets required? /26 will give you the four subnets that are
required, and 62 hosts per subnet, which is greater than the 50 hosts required for the first
subnet.
When you have determined which subnet mask meets all of the stated network requirements, derive each
of the subnets. List the subnets from first to last in the table. Remember that the first subnet is 192.168.0.0
with the chosen subnet mask.
