SUBNETTING EXAMPLES

Q: If an organization has the Network address 192.168.10.0 and Subnet mask 255.255.255.192,
Answer the following questions:
i) Number of Subnets exits?
ii) Number of Hosts per subnets?
iii) Valid subnets?
iv) Broadcast address and valid hosts for each subnet?
v) First and the last address of subnet number 2?

Answer 1: We have to do subnetting on 192 octet, since 192 in binary will be 11000000, the
answer would be 22= 4.

Answer 2: We have six host bits off 11000000 so answer will be 26- 2 = 62 hosts.

Answer 3: Valid subnets can be found by the method: 256-192=64 so the valid subnets are 0,
64,128 and 192 respectively.

Answer 4:

The subnets 0 64 128 192

First host 1 65 129 193

Last host 62 126 190 254

Broadcast address 63 127 191 255

Answer 5: The first address of subnet number 2 is 192.168.10.65 and the last address of subnet
number 2 is 192.168.10.126 respectively.
Q: If an organization has the Network address 192.168.10.0 and Subnet mask 255.255.255.224,
Answer the following questions:
i) Number of Subnets exits?
ii) Number of Hosts per subnets?
iii) Valid subnets?
iv) Broadcast address and valid hosts for each subnet?
v) First and the last address of subnet number 6?

Answer 1: We have to do subnetting on 224 octet, since 224 in binary will be 11100000, the
answer would be 23= 8.

Answer 2: We have five host bits off 11100000 so answer will be 25- 2 = 30 hosts.

Answer 3: Valid subnets can be found by the method: 256-224=32 so the valid subnets are 0, 32,
64, 96,128, 160, 192 and 224 respectively.

Answer 4:

The subnets 0 32 64 96 128 160 192 224

First host 1 33 65 97 129 161 193 225

Last host 30 62 94 126 158 190 222 254

Broadcast address 31 63 95 127 159 191 223 255

Answer 5 : The first address of subnet number 6 is 192.168.10.161 and the last address of subnet
number 6 is 192.168.10.190 respectively.

Q: If an organization has the Network address 172.16.0.0 and Subnet mask 255.255.192.0
Answer the following questions:
i) Number of Subnets exits?
ii) Number of Hosts per subnets?
iii) Valid subnets?
iv) Broadcast address and valid hosts for each subnet?
v) First and the last address of subnet number 3?

Answer 1: We have to do subnetting on 192 octet, since 192 in binary will be 11000000, the
answer would be 22= 4.

Answer 2: We have fourteen host bits off 11000000 00000000 so answer will be 214- 2 = 16,382
hosts.

Answer 3: Valid subnets can be found by the method: 256-192=64 so the valid subnets are 0.0,
64.0, 128.0 and 192.0 respectively.

Answer 4:

The subnets 0.0 64.0 128.0 192.0

First host 0.1 64.1 128.1 192.1

Last host 63.254 127.254 191.254 255.254

Broadcast address 63.255 127.255 191.255 255.255

Answer 5 : The first address of subnet number 3 is 172.16.128.1 and the last address of subnet
number 2 is 172.16.191.254 respectively.
Q: If an organization has the Network address 172.16.0.0 and Subnet mask 255.255.240.0
Answer the following questions:
i) Number of Subnets exits?
ii) Number of Hosts per subnets?
iii) Valid subnets?
iv) Broadcast address and valid hosts for each subnet?
v) First and the last address of subnet number 4?
Answer 1: We have to do subnetting on 240 octet, since 240 in binary will be 11110000, the
answer would be 24= 16.

Answer 2: We have twelve host bits off 11110000 00000000 so answer will be 212- 2 = 4094
hosts.

Answer 3: Valid subnets can be found by the method: 256-240=16 so the valid subnets are 0.0,
16.0, 32.0, 48.0 till 240.0 respectively.

Answer 4: We will discuss only four initial subnets.

The subnets 0.0 16.0 32.0 48.0

First host 0.1 16.1 32.1 48.1

Last host 15.254 31.254 47.254 63.254

Broadcast address 15.255 31.255 47.255 63.255

Answer 5 : The first address of subnet number 3 is 172.16.48.1 and the last address of subnet
number 2 is 172.16.63.254 respectively.
