Question1 and question 2

{lesson 1 - Suppose a home network consists of computers named Foo and Bar, connected to a
router, and then via a cable to the Internet. The home network is configured as a subnet: address
17.76.99.1 is assigned to Foo, address 17.76.99.2 to Bar, and address 17.76.99.100 to the router.
The subnet has been configured so that the first three octets of its members' addresses are all the
same subnet id, 17.76.99, and this fact is expressed by the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (binary
11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000) configured in the router.

When Foo sends data to example.com at 208.77.188.166, the router performs a logical AND of
the destination example.com address with the subnet mask. It also performs a logical AND of the
origin address (17.76.99.1) and recognizes that these two results are different, and therefore
sends the data over the Internet, via the subnet's default gateway.

When Foo sends data to Bar, however, it determines that the results of the two AND operations
are the same, therefore the destination lies within the subnet and the default gateway is not
required. The data is transmitted directly from Foo to Bar within the home network.}

5 departments with own subnet + 1 subnet for servers = 6 subnets required..

You will need 3 bits make to 6 subnet (6 in decimal = 110) therefore 3 bits required for network
ID therefore subnet mask – 11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000 = 255.255.255.224

This will provide a maximum of 8 subnets (000 – 111)

Question 3

5 bits available for hosts so no of hosts = 2^5-2 = 30

The 2 ip addresses subtracted (1st and last are for network id and broadcast addresses)
30 hosts (subtract 1 for router address mean 29 available)

Question 7 (I left out the 205.1.1. on some in the table – You shouldn’t do the same)

Range Subnet Address Broadcast Address

205.1.1.1 to 205.1.1.30 205.1.1.0 205.1.1.31
205.1.1.33 to 205.1.1.62 205.1.1.32 205.1.1.63
205.1.1.65 to 205.1.1.94 205.1.1.64 205.1.1.95
97 to 126 96 127
129 to 158 128 159
161 to 190 160 191
193 to 221 192 222
224 to 254 223 255
