Lab - Subnetting Network Topologies

The document outlines subnetting calculations for three network topologies (A, C, and E). For each topology, it determines the number of required subnets, bits to borrow from the host portion, usable host addresses per subnet, new subnet masks, and available subnets for future use. Specific calculations and results are provided for each topology, including subnet information and addressing schemes.

Lab – Subnetting Network Topologies

Part 1: Network Topology A

Step 1: Determine the number of subnets in Network Topology A.


a. How many subnets are there?
Subnet 1: PC-A, PC-B, Switch S1
Subnet2: link between R1 and R2
So, the total required subnet = 2

b. How many bits should you borrow to create the required number of subnets?
192.168.10.0/24 has a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 => 8 host bits
are available
We have 2n ≥ required subnets so to create at least 2 subnets, we need to
borrow at least 1 bit from the host portion. (21 = 2)

c. How many usable host addresses per subnet are in this addressing scheme?
The number of host addresses per subnet:
2(8 – 1) – 2 = 128 − 2 = 126
d. What is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal format?
The new subnet mask for /25 is 255.255.255.128.

e. How many subnets are available for future use?


Since we are using 2 subnets, there is 0 subnet available for future use.

Step 2: Record the subnet information.


Fill in the following table with the subnet information:

Part 3: Network Topology C


Step 1: Determine the number of subnets in Network Topology C.
a. How many subnets are there?
Subnet 1: PC-A, PC-B, and R1
Subnet 2: PC-C, PC-D and R2
Subnet 3: PC-E, PC-F and R3
Subnet 4: link between R1 and R2
Subnet 5: link between R1 and R3
Subnet 6: link between R2 and R3
So, the total required subnet = 6

b. How many bits should you borrow to create the required number of subnets?
192.168.10.0/24 has a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 => 8 host bits
are available
We have 2n ≥ required subnets so to create at least 3 subnets, we need to
borrow at least 3 bit from the host portion. (23 = 8 > 6)

c. How many usable host addresses per subnet are in this addressing scheme?
The number of host addresses per subnet:
2(8 – 3) – 2 = 32 − 2 = 30

d. What is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal format?


The new subnet mask for /27 is 255.255.255.224.

e. How many subnets are available for future use?


Since we are using 6 subnets, there are 2 subnets available for future use.
Step 2: Record the subnet information.
Fill in the following table with the subnet information:

Step 3: Assign addresses to network devices in the subnets.


a. Fill in the following table with IP addresses and subnet masks for the router
interfaces:

b. Fill in the following table with the IP addresses and subnet masks for
devices in the LAN as displayed in topology.
Part 5: Network Topology E

Step 1: Determine the number of subnets in Network Topology E.


a. How many subnets are there?
The total required subnet = 9

b. How many bits should you borrow to create the required number of subnets?
We have 2n ≥ required subnets so to create at least 9 subnets, we need to
borrow at least 4 bit from the host portion. (24 = 16 > 9)

c. How many usable host addresses per subnet are in this addressing scheme?
The number of host addresses per subnet:
2(8 – 3) – 2 = 16 − 2 = 14

d. What is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal format?


The new subnet mask for /20 is 255.255.224 .0.

e. How many subnets are available for future use?


Since we are using 9 subnets, there are 7 subnets available for future use.
