Summary

In this lab we practiced creating subnets and identifying each of the important parts of the subnet. We identified each subnet address, the broadcast address for each subnetwork, and the range of available host addresses

What steps would you take to subnet a network?

1st step is to determine how many sections to divide the network into. 2nd is to determine all of the new subnet addresses. 3rd is to determine the available host ids and the broadcast addresses.

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

The broadcast address?

The broadcast address is the address with all ones in the host ID bits.

The range of usable IP addresses?

The range of usable host IP addresses is from the lowest ip. this would be the ip with all zeros except the last bit being 1. to the highest ip address which would be the ip with all ones in the host id except the last bit.
