This is an exercise in subnetting. You will compute a subnet

This is an exercise in subnetting. You will compute a subnet mask and the IP numbers in each subnet.

1) assume you received a class-C IP address (221.221.221.0) and you are setting up a network with 4 subnets, each with 50 workstations.

2) use the IP Calculator ( http://bitcricket-ip-calculator.software.informer.com) and compute the subnet mask and also check, and report, the maximum number of workstations in a subnet to see if you can have 50 workstations in each subnet.

3) obtain the IP range in each subnet, and include them in a table. In addition include in the table the subnet address, the default gateway,and number ofunusedIP numbersfor each subnet.

4) finally using MS Visio draw a representation of your subnets with the range of IP numbers for each subnet.

HINTS: The IP subnet calculator allows you to find the subnet mask you should use and what IP numbers you should assign to PCs when you divide your network in subnetworks (subnets).

• The first thing you do in the IP subnet calculator is to enter the IP address you received (in the assignment 221.221.221.0).
• Then click on the top Options and be sure that Allow 1 subnet bitis selected.
• Determine to what power 2 needs to be raised to obtain the number of subnets you want to create (to obtain 4 subnets 2 will need to be raised to the power of 2; to obtain 8 subnets 2 will need to be raised to the power of 3; etc).
• Enter in the number of subnet bits the power corresponding to the number of subnets you want to create, in the above examples, respectively 2 and 3.
• It will show automatically in the same tab the number of subnets, the subnet mask, and the maximum number of hosts (PCs) per subnet.
• Finally, click on the Subnet/Address Allocation tab and you will see a table with IP numbers per subnet. You will need this info to create a table as required in the assignment.
• Remember that the subnet network address is the first IP number in the subnet, the default gateway is the second IP address, and that the broadcast address is the last IP address in the subnet, therefore if you have 30 IP numbers in a subnet, you can only assign 27 to PCs (30 – 3).
