31. Scenario:

A small-scale auditing company require your assistance to design IP addressing plan

for their Local Area Network in the new office. You have decided to use Class C
address and separate the network into 4 different subnet groups – Guests / Auditors /
Admin / Server. Each subnet required to have 62 hosts. Answer the following
questions based on the design of the new subnet mask for this subnetting
implementation by assuming that all the groups created are in the same block size:

a) How many bits to be borrowed for the subnetting process?

(2 marks)

Answer: 2 bits (2 ^ 2 = 4 subnets) – 2 marks

b) What is the subnet mask (after subnetting implementation) in binary form?

(2 marks)

Answer: 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111. 1100 0000 – 2 marks

c) What is the subnet mask (after subnetting implementation) in decimal form?

(2 marks)

Answer: 255.255.255.192 – 2 marks

d) The company currently was given an IP address 200.200.20.0. After the subnetting
implementation, what is the broadcast address and the range of the usable IP
address for the first subnet?
(4 marks)

Answer:
- Broadcast Address: 200.200.20.63 – 2 marks
- Range of usable IP address: 200.200.20.1 – 200.200.20.62 – 2 marks

Total marks: 2 marks + 2 marks + 2 marks + 4 marks = 10 marks

(Total: 10 marks)
32. Given a SOHO network as an example in figure below, answer the following questions:

a) What is the IP address of the default gateway in the figure above?

(2 marks)

Answer: 192.168.5.60 – 2 marks

b) Discuss any TWO (2) features of default gateway in relations of the figure above.
(6 marks)

Answer (any two features):

- Basic features of default gateway are to perform packet forwarding and

optimal path selections.
- A router or layer 3 switch can be a default gateway in a network above,
where the default gateway must have an IP address in the same range as
the rest of the LAN. For example, in figure above, the router having an IP
address 192.168.5.60, where it is in the range of 192.168.5.45 to
192.168.5.100.
- A default gateway can route PC A, PC B and PC C to other network that is
to the server in remote network through Internet/WAN.
- Default gateway works based on the IP address where to route the traffic
from a LAN to remote network (Internet), a default gateway need to
choose next hop destination defined in the routing table.
- ***Or any other relevant answers are accepted.

c) What happen to PC A, PC B and PC C in the network of the figure above if the

default gateway is not exist?
(2 marks)
Answer: All the devices in the network will not able to leave the LAN, as a network
without default gateway or a bad default gateway, will not routing the data from the
LAN to other remote network. – 2 marks

Total marks: 2 marks + 6 marks + 2 marks = 10 marks

(Total: 10 marks)
