I. Subnet Excercises
Note: You need to thoroughly understand the structure of Class As, Bs, and Cs network
address in order to handle the following questions. Good lucks. I do not have answer keys
to these questions. You are welcome to ask me to check your answers.
1. Given the subnet mask, 255.255.255.0, and an IP address 66.68.100.1,
a. How many bits are used for subnet ID? Why?
______________________________________________________________________
b. How many IP addresses are lost due to the subnetting?
______________________________________________________________________
2. In dealing with a network configuration problem. An IT manager found that the
following information on a station: IP address was 225.101.10.97 and the subnet mask was
255.255.255.224. What might be the problem?
______________________________________________________________________
3. In dealing with a network configuration problem. An IT manager found that the
following information on a station: IP address was 199.101.10.32 and the subnet mask was
255.255.255.192. Assume the network ID is correct. What might be the problem?
______________________________________________________________________
4. For a particular Class C subnet, if the subnet ID is 0100, answer the following questions:
a. Define the subnet mask.
______________________________________________________________________
b. Does 212.34.23.129 belong to this subnet?
______________________________________________________________________
c. How many subnets can the organization have?
______________________________________________________________________
d. How many IP addresses are available in each segment?
______________________________________________________________________
e. How many IP addresses are lost due to subnetting (in terms of the whole
organizations)?
5. For a particular Class B subnet, if the subnet ID is 001000:
a. How many bits are used for subnet ID?
______________________________________________________________________
b. Define the subnet mask.
______________________________________________________________________
c. Does 144.33.48.254 belong to this subnet?
______________________________________________________________________
d. How many subnets can the organization have?
______________________________________________________________________
e. How many IP addresses are available in each segment?
______________________________________________________________________
f. How many IP addresses are lost due to subnetting (in terms of the whole organizations)?

Step 2: You only need three /22 subnets, so you reserved the first three for those subnets
needing 1,000 hosts. Which ones are they?
Step 3: You decide to sub-subnet the fourth subnet (172.16.44.0/22) for the three subnets
each needing 250 hosts. A /24 will work well for this. What are the three /24 sub-subnets
you will use?
Step 4: The last (fourth) of the /24 sub-subnets (172.16.47.0/24), you decide to use for you
serial point-to-point links. List the first five /30 sub-sub-subnets (if there is such a term):
