11. For the following IP host addresses determine which are valid for commercial networks. (Valid means that it could be assigned to a workstation, server, printer, router interface etc.)
IP Address Valid Reason

150.100.255.255 175.100.255.18 195.234.253.0 100.0.0.23 188.258.221.176 127.34.25.189 224.156.217.73

Exercise 2:
Your company has applied for and received a Class C network address of 197.15.22.0. You want to subdivide your physical network into 4 subnets and you wish to have at least 25 hosts on each subnet. You will need to use a customised Class C subnet mask to achieve this. Determine the number of bits you will need to borrow from the host portion of the network address and then the number of bits left over for host addresses. (Hint: There will be 8 subnets) 1. Complete the table below. Subnet No. Subnet #0 Subnet #1 Subnet #2 Subnet #3 Subnet #4 Subnet #5 Subnet #6 Subnet #7 Bits Value Subnet IP Address Host Range Subnet/Host Range Useable

101

197.15.22.160

00000 - 11111

160 - 191

YES

Using the table you just developed above, answer the following questions. 2. What octet(s) represent the network portion of a Class C IP address? ______ 3. What octet(s) represent the host portion of a Class C IP address? _______

4. What is the binary equivalent of the network address given above? Decimal: Binary: 197 . 15 . 22 . 0

_________ . ________ . ________ . ________

5. What subnet mask did you use? Decimal: Binary: ____ . ____ . ____ . ____ _________ . ________ . ________ . ________

6. What is the maximum number of subnets that can be created using this subnet mask? _______ 7. What is the maximum number of subnets that can be created using this subnet mask? _______ 8. How many bits were left in the fourth octet for host IDs? ______ 9. How many hosts per subnet can we use with this subnet mask? ____________ 10. What is the total number of usable hosts on the network? ________________ 11. Is 197.15.22.63 a valid host IP address? ______ 12. Why or why not? ________________________________________________ 13. Is 197.15.22.160 a valid host IP address? ______ 14. Why or why not? ________________________________________________
