We know that IP addressing is the logical addressing scheme used to identify computer machines
on the internet. IP is a unique address assigned to each computing device over a network.
Computing devices use IP Address to identify and communicate with other devices. An IP
address consist of FOUR (4) decimal numbers (192.168.10.100) where each decimal number is
separated by a dot (.). Computer interpret an IP Address as a 32-bit number where each part
(decimal number) occupy 8 bits.

You are required to answer the below questions, for the following IP addresses
1. 6.7.8.9
2. 132.1.2.3
3. 220.15.1.10
4. 250.0.1.2

Question 1 Identify the network class of each IP address. [4 marks]

Question 2 Convert each IP address into its binary form with proper steps. [12 marks]
Question 3 Count total number of network IDs available in each class. [4 marks]

Answer 1: Class A networks have their first octet in the range 0 – 127, Class B networks 128 –
191, Class C networks 192 – 254. Using this information, we have:

1. 6.7.8.9 : Class A
5. 132.1.2.3 : Class B
6. 220.15.1.10 : Class C
7. 250.0.1.2 : Class C

Answer 2: Using the following table for Decimal to Binary conversion

 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1. 6 = 4 + 2 = 0110, 7 = 4+2+1 = 0111, 8 = 1000, 9 = 1001

6.7.8.9 in binary = 0110.0111.1000.1001

2. 132.1.2.3

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

132 = 10000100

Repeating above step for other octets, we have:

1 = 0001, 2 = 0010, 3 = 0011

Hence 132.1.2.3 in binary is 10000100.0001.0010.0011

3. 220.15.1.10

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0

220 = 128 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 11011100

Repeating above step for other octets we have:

15 = 8+4+2+1 = 1111, 1 = 0001, 10 = 1010

Hence 220.15.1.10 in binary is 11011100.1111.0001.1010

4. 250.0.1.2

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0

250 = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 2 = 11111010

Repeating above step for other octets we have:

0 = 0000, 1 = 0001, 2 = 0010

Hence 250.0.1.2 in binary is 11111010.0000.0001.0010

Answer 3: Class A networks have 128 available networks, Class B has 16,384, and Class C has 2,097,152
available networks. Using this information, we have:

1. 6.7.8.9 (Class A) : 128 available network IDs

8. 132.1.2.3 (Class B) : 16,384 available network IDs
9. 220.15.1.10 (Class C) : 2,097,152 available network IDs
10. 250.0.1.2 (Class C) : 2,097,152 available network IDs
