Solution for Subnetting Exercise #1
Assume that you have been assigned the 132.45.0.0/16 network block. You need to establish 8 subnets.

1. Three binary digits are required to define the eight subnets.

2. Specify the extended-network-prefix that allows the creation of 8 subnets.
/19 or 255.255.224.0

3. Express the subnets in binary format and dotted decimal notation:

Host #8190: 10000100.00101101.011 11111.11111110 = 132.45.127.254/19

4. What is the broadcast address for Subnet #3 (132.45.96.0/19)?
10000100.00101101.011 11111.11111111 = 132.45.127.255/19


Solution for Subnetting Exercise #2
1. Assume that you have been assigned the 200.35.1.0/24 network block. Define an extended-network-prefix that allows the creation of 20 hosts on each subnet.
A minimum of five bits are required to define 20 hosts so the extended-network- prefix is a /27 (27 = 32-5).

2. What is the maximum number of hosts that can be assigned to each subnet?
The maximum number of hosts on each subnet is 2 5 -2, or 30.

3. What is the maximum number of subnets that can be defined?
The maximum number of subnets is 2 3 , or 8.
