Lab - Calculate IPv4 Subnets

Objectives
Part 1: Determine IPv4 Address Subnetting
Part 2: Calculate IPv4 Address Subnetting

Background / Scenario
The ability to work with IPv4 subnets and determine network and host information based on a given IP
address and subnet mask is critical to understanding how IPv4 networks operate. The first part is designed to
reinforce how to compute network IP address information from a given IP address and subnet mask. When
given an IP address and subnet mask, you will be able to determine other information about the subnet.
• 1 PC (Windows with Internet access)
• Optional: IPv4 address calculator

Instructions
Fill out the tables below with appropriate answers given the IPv4 address, original subnet mask, and new
subnet mask.
