Write the subnet, broadcast address, and valid host range for questions 1 and 2:

1. 192.168.100.99/26
2. 192.168.100.99/25

3. You have a Class B network and need 29 subnets. What is your mask?
4. What is the broadcast address of 192.168.192.10/29?
5. How many hosts are available with a Class C /29 mask?

Answers:-

1. 192.168.100.99/26.

A /26 subnet mask is 255.255.255.192.

The fourth octet has a block size of 64.

0, 64, 128.

The host is in the 64 subnet, broadcast of 127. Valid hosts 65–126.

2. 192.168.100.99/25.

A /25 subnet mask is 255.255.255.128.

The fourth octet is a block size of 128.

0, 128.

The host is in the 0 subnet, broadcast of 127. Valid hosts 1–126.

3. A default Class B is 255.255.0.0. A Class B 255.255.255.0 mask is 254

subnets, each with 254 hosts. We need fewer subnets. If we used
255.255.240.0, this provides 14 subnets. Let’s add one more subnet bit.
255.255.248.0. This is 5 bits of subnetting, which provides 30 subnets. This is
our best answer, a /21.

 4. A /29 is 255.255.255.248.

This is a block size of 8 in the fourth octet. 0, 8, 16. The host is in the 8
subnet, broadcast is 15.

5. A /29 is 255.255.255.248, which is 5 subnet bits and 3 host bits. This is only 6
hosts per subnet.
