11.6.6 Lab - Calculate IPv4 Subnets - ILM

This document provides instructions and problems for calculating IPv4 subnetting. Students are asked to determine information like the number of subnets, hosts, and network addresses given an IP address and subnet mask. The goal is to understand how subnet masks divide IP addresses into subnets and hosts. Six sample problems are included for practice performing these calculations.

Lab - Calculate IPv4 Subnets (Instructor Version)

Instructor Note: Red font color or gray highlights indicate text that appears in the instructor copy only.

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.
Instructor Note: This activity can be done in class or assigned as homework. If the assignment is done in
class, you may wish to have students work alone or in teams of 2 students each. It is suggested that the first
problem is done together in class to give students guidance as to how to proceed for the rest of the
assignment.
The public IP addresses used in this lab are owned by Cisco.

Required Resources
 1 PC (Windows with Internet access)
 Optional: IPv4 address calculator

Instructions

Reflection Question
Why is the subnet mask so important when analyzing an IPv4 address?
Type your answers here.
The subnet mask determines everything about the address: the network, number of host bits, number
of hosts and the broadcast address. Merely looking at an IPv4 address tells you nothing. You need
the subnet mask to fill in all the important pieces of information.
