You must not be more than 5


1. An ISP is granted the block 17.58.2.0/18 to Ministry of Education. The ministry has planned
to allocate IP addresses for 4 buildings. Which Called Building A, Building B, Building C,
Building D with total address space 16,777,216 and the classification was takes place based
on the following information.
Building A contains 3 office each require 122 addresses (hosts)
Building B contain 1 office each require 256 addresses
Building C contain 4 office which require 27 address
Building D contain 2 office which require 47 address
A. Find the subnet mask addresses of each building.
B. List all valid IP address Range for each class.
C. Indicate first, last, network and broadcast addresses of building C?
D. Find number of unallocated and allocated IP address available in the ministry?
2. List types of routing algorithms and describe the routing algorithms that used in layer 3, and
Compare and contrast distance vector and Link state routing algorithms clearly and which
algorithm is most important for existing large network.
3. Ethio Telecom is granted 115.27.16.63/27 to school of electrical engineering and computing.
The school has five servers and around five thousand hosts. Therefore, as a networking
student how you can solve IP address shortage in the school?
4. By considering the following network diagram;
a. Fill the IP-addresses, subnet mask and default gateway for all hosts.

5. A network administrator is connecting hosts A and B directly through their Ethernet


interfaces, as shown in the illustration. Ping attempts between the hosts are unsuccessful.
What can be done to provide connectivity between the hosts?

6. Provide detail explanation about NAT in terms of why it required? how we can solve
problems observed in NAT? And how public and private IPs is mapped to make
communication? Clearly with example
7. Discuss some protocols that used in application layer and services that provided by the
application layers to the end user.
8. Explain the detail concept of reliable and unreliable protocols in transport layer and mention
some application benefit from it.
9. What are the main advantages of classless IP address over class full IP address?

10. Consider the below network topology where letters represent routers and the routers are
using link-state routing algorithm to determine the least cost routes to all other routers from
A. Determine the routing table entries for routers B, C, D, E and G after convergence.

11. Suppose your home Internet Service Provider's (ISP) IPv6 network addresses have a prefix
of 55:2300/24. They use this prefix to address millions of homes across the country. All of
these homes use dozens of the ISP's routers as gateways. They assign your home in
California an IPv6 network prefix of ef5:2302:1500:4600:0000:0000:0000:0000/51. They
assign your neighbor's home a prefix of 55:2302:1700:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/51.

a) What is the longest prefix (i.e., most specific prefix) that the ISP's router for these
two homes can have in its routing table to route to both of these home networks?
Please write the prefix in IPv6 Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) notation
(XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/Y):where X's are the
32-bit parts of the address prefix (in hexadecimal format) and the Y is the prefix in
length bits. (hint: 32 X 3=51)

b) Since IPv6 has a much larger address space compared to IPv4, explain why it might
be possible to switch back to Class-based Addressing rather than Classesless
Interdomain Routing (CIDR)? What downsides would class-based routing have, if
any. For instance, would it still be possible to have a specific route in the ISPs
network for the two homes described in the question?
