The document discusses subnetting a Class C network with the network number 192.168.243.0 into 4 subnets. It states that the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and that 2 bits will be borrowed to create 4 subnets. Each subnet will support 62 host addresses. An IP table is provided that lists the subnet number, IP address range, and broadcast address for each of the 4 subnets.

Given: Netwok Number = 192.168.243.0, Assuming 4 subnet can be done, a) The class of IP address. (1m) b) Default Subnet Mask for IP address (1m) c) Quantity of bit borrowed (1m) d) Quantity of subnet (3m) e) Quantity of host for each subnet (3m) f) Complete the IP table for the network. (6m)
Answer: a) IP addres class – C b) Default Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Finding the number of subnets.
Formula for Number of subnet = 2bb ≈ 4 2bb ≈ 22 (more than, bb = 2 not less)
c) Therefore, from the above calculation, the bits borrowed = 2
d) Quantity of subnet = 2bb = 22 = 4 subnet e) Quantity of host per subnet = 2bl – 2 = 26 – 2 = 62 hos f) The IP Table Subnet Number IP Number Subnet 1 NAddress: 201.11.12.0 IPAdress: 201.11.12.1 to 201.11.12.62 BAddress: 201.11.12.63 Subnet 2 NAdress: 201.11.12.64 IPAdress: 201.11.12.65 to 201.11.12.126 BAdress: 201.11.12.127 Subnet 3 NAdress: 201.11.12.128 IPAdress: 201.11.12.129 to 201.11.12.190 BAdress: 201.11.12.191 Subnet 4 NAdress: 201.11.12.192 IPAdress: 201.11.12.193 to 201.11.12.254 BAdress: 201.11.12.255
