 Question # 1
8

 An organization is granted the block

211.17.180.0/24.
 The administrator wants to create 32 subnets.

1. Find the subnet mask.

2. Find the number of address in each subnet
3. Find the first and last address in subnet 1

Networks and Communication Systems Department

 Answer
9

1. Find the subnet mask.

Number of extra 1s = 𝑙𝑜𝑔2 32 = 5
Subnet Mask: /29 (24 + 5)

2. Find the number of address in each subnet

Number of addresses = 232−29 = 23 = 8 addresses
per subnet

 Question # 2
11

 An organization is granted a block of

addresses 192.168.1.0/24.
 The organization has three branches and needs

to divide the addresses into three subnets (each

subnet has 6 hosts)
 Find the subnet mask, subnet and broadcast
address for each subnet.

Networks and Communication Systems Department

 Answer
12

 Subnet mask for the three subnets:

# of address= 232−𝑛
 8 = 232−𝑛
 23 = 232−𝑛
 3= 32-n
 n= 32-3 = 29
Subnet mask = /29

# of address in each subnet = 23 = 8

Subnet # Subnet address Broadcast hosts

address
1 192.168,1.0/29 192.168.1.7 192.168.1.1- 191.168.1.6
2 192.168,1.8/29 192.168.1.15 192.168.1.9- 191.168.1.14
3 192.168,1.16/29 192.168.1.23 192.168.1.17- 191.168.1.22

 Question # 3
14

 An organization is granted a block of

addresses 208.3.30.0/24
 The organization has three offices and needs

to divide the addresses into three subnets and

each subnet has 10 hosts.
 Find the subnet mask, subnet and broadcast
address for each subnet.

Networks and Communication Systems Department

 Answer
15

 Subnet mask for the three subnets:

# of address= 232−𝑛
 16 = 232−𝑛
 24 = 232−𝑛
 4= 32-n
 n= 32-4 = 28
Subnet mask = /28

# of address in each subnet = 2𝟒 = 16

Subnet # Subnet address Broadcast hosts

address
1 208.3.30.0/28 208.3.30.15 208.3.30.1 - 208.3.30.14
2 208.3.30.16/28 208.3.30.31 208.3.30.17 - 208.3.30.30
3 208.3.30.32/28 208.3.30.47 208.3.30.33 - 208.3.30.46

 Question # 4
17

 An organization is granted a block of addresses

200.3.2.0/24
 The organization has three offices in different cities and
needs to divide the addresses into three subnets as the
following table:
City Number of hosts
Riyadh 40
Jeddah 10
Dammam 6

 Find the subnet mask, the subnet and broadcast address

for each subnet.

 Answer
18

Riyadh
Subnet mask for the Riyadh subnet
# of address= 232−𝑛
 64 = 232−𝑛
 26 = 232−𝑛
 6= 32-n
 n= 32-6 = 26
Subnet mask = /26

# of address in Riyadh subnet = 2𝟔 = 64

Jeddah
Subnet mask for the Jeddah subnet
# of address= 232−𝑛
 16 = 232−𝑛
 24 = 232−𝑛
 4= 32-n
 n= 32-4 = 28
Subnet mask = /28

# of address in Jeddah subnet = 2𝟒 = 16

Dammam
Subnet mask for the Dammam subnet
# of address= 232−𝑛
 8 = 232−𝑛
 23 = 232−𝑛
 3= 32-n
 n= 32-3 = 29
Subnet mask = /29

# of address in Dammam subnet = 23 = 8
