Assignment 4 – Calculate IPv4 Subnets
Objectives
Part 1: Determine IPv4 Address Subnetting
Part 2: Calculate IPv4 Address Subnetting
Background / Scenario
The ability to work with IPv4 subnets and determine network and host information based on a given
IP address and subnet mask is critical to understanding how IPv4 networks operate. The first part is
designed to reinforce how to compute network IP address information from a given IP address and
subnet mask. When given an IP address and subnet mask, you will be able to determine other
information about the subnet.
Instructions
Calculate the following subnets using the same methodology used in the lecture. Write your
calculation in your notebook and paste the picture of your solution for each exercise. Fill out the
tables below with appropriate answers given the IPv4 address, original subnet mask, and new subnet
mask.
Exercise 1
Given:
Host IP Address: 192.168.200.139
Original Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
New Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.224
Find:
Number of Subnet Bits The difference between (/24 )and (/27) is 3 bits.
Number of Subnets Created 3
2 =8 subnets
Number of Host Bits per Subnet 32 (total bits) - 27 (subnet mask) = 5 bits

Reflection Question
Why is the subnet mask so important when analyzing an IPv4 address?
The subnet mask is important in analyzing an IPv4 address because it defines the network and host portions
of the IP address. It enables efficient IP allocation, helps create subnetworks, ensures accurate routing, and
manages broadcast domains within the network.
