Name: Exercises on Calculating Subnets

1.

You have a class A network number of 126.0.0.1 and you have decided to use the addresses on this network to satisfy the IP address requirements of 30 subnets. a) What is the default subnet mask? (2 points) 255.0.0.0
b)

Calculate a subnet mask that will fulfill this requirement. (3 points) 255.248.0.0 Calculate the number of host addresses for each subnet. (3 points) 524288 Calculate the number of usable host addresses for each subnet. (2 points) 524286

c)

d)

2.

Suppose that you have a class B network address of 172.16.17.30 for 32 subnets. a) What is the default subnet mask? (2 points) 255.255.0.0
