1. Create 3 Networks with Subnetting. Start of IP Address: 192.168.20.
25/24
• Network A – 100 PC
• Network B – 250 PC
• Network C – 300 PC
Take 2 PCs for each Network and Assign first and last IP to this 2 PC.
Answer:
• For Network C:
Least IP addresses needed to cover 300 PC is = 29 = 512.
So, the subnet mask for this subnetting: 11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000
The custom subnet mask for Network C = 255.255.254.0 or /23
IP Range: 192.168.20.0 - 192.168.21.255
First usable IP: 192.168.20.1 /23
Last usable IP: 192.168.21.254 /23
• For Network B:
Least IP addresses needed to cover 250 PC is = 2 8 = 256.
So, the subnet mask for this subnetting: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
The custom subnet mask for Network C = 255.255.255.0 or /24
IP Range: 192.168.22.0 - 192.168.22.255
First usable IP: 192.168.22.1 /24
Last usable IP: 192.168.22.254 /24
• For Network A:
Least IP addresses needed to cover 100 PC is = 2 7 = 128.
So, the subnet mask for this subnetting: 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000
The custom subnet mask for Network C = 255.255.255.128 or /25
IP Range: 192.168.23.0 - 192.168.23.127
First usable IP: 192.168.23.1 /25
Last usable IP: 192.168.23.126 /25
