Lab 5 2 Subnetting Charts - jude-lindale/Wiki GitHub Wiki

Summary

In this lab we were tasked with finding subnet addresses from the host address, finding the broadcast address, and the range.

Tech Journal Questions

What steps would you take to subnet a network? First, determine the number of host bits you'll need to support the users on each network segment. Second, Arrange the networks from largest to smallest in our subnet table. Third, Starting with the largest network, choose a suitable network address and determine the range of IPs that are available on that network.

Given a subnet network address, how would you determine...

• The broadcast address? first, put the address into binary, then make all the 0s from the last '1' in the triad and make all of those 0s up until the last 1, ones, and then convert back to dot-decimal and then you have the direct broadcast address. the broadcast address will be the last address of the subnet and one less the preceding subnet address

• The range of usable IP addresses? first is to find the first usable host by changing the rightmost host bit to a 1 of the subnet address, which is the first usable host. To find the last change the host bits in the subnet address to 1's except for the most right bit. Then you have your range
