Lab Summary: To calculate host/broadcast/subnet addresses


Commands: N/A


Issues/Struggles: I had some issue with the calculations, but nothing notable.


Lab Questions:

  • What steps would you take to subnet a network?
  • Given a subnet network address, how would you determine...
  • : Broadcast address/range of usable IP addresses?

  • First I would figure out my initial IP address. From there I would determine what my subnet mask should be, then I would simply create the addresses necessary based on my calculations.
  • Finding the broadcast address depends on what subnet mask is being used. If it were 255.255.255.0, It would be the same as the IP but with a 255 instead of the final portion.
  • The rule of 2's can be used to find the range of usable IP addresses.
