The service provider has provided a Class C network range of 209.50.1.0 and the company needs to break it into 20 subnets. To do so, they will use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248, which gives a subnet range size of 8 and starting ranges of 209.50.1.0 - 209.50.1.7, 209.50.1.8 - 209.50.1.15, and so on.

Example 1: A service provider has given you the Class C network
range 209.50.1.0. Your company must break the network into 20
separate subnets.. numbers of subnet =2^m → 20 = 2^m → m=5 209.50.1.0 class C → default subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Number of 1 in default subnet mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000=24 New subnet mask 255.255.255.248 Number of 1 in Custom subnet mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000 =29 1= 8 decimal. 2018 Use increment to find network ranges - Start with your given network address and add your increment to the submitted octet: 209.50.1.0 209.50.1.8 209.50.1.16 …etc You can now fill in your end ranges, which is the last possible IP address before you start the next range 209.50.1.0 – 209.50.1.7 209.50.1.8 – 209.50.1.15 209.50.1.16 – 209.50.1.23 …etc Example 2: Your company would like to break the Class B private IP address range 172.16.0.0 into 60 different subnets numbers of subnet =2^m → 60 = 2^m → m=6 172.16.0.0 class B → default subnet mask 255.255.0.0 Number of 1 in default subnet mask 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000=16 New subnet mask 255.255.252.0 Number of 1 in Custom subnet mask 11111111.11111111.11111100.00000000 =22 1= 4 decimal. Use increment to find network ranges Start with your given network address and add your increment to the subnetted octet: 172.16.0.0 172.16.4.0 172.16.8.0 …etc You can now fill in your end ranges, which is the last possible IP address before you start the next range 172.16.0.0 – 172.16.3.255 172.16.4.0 – 172.16.7.255 172.16.8.0 – 172.16.11.255 …etc Example 3 :Your company would like to break the Class B private IP address range 172.16.0.0 into as many subnets as possible, provided that they can get at least 300 clients per subnet . 300 =2^n -2 → n=9 172.16.0.0 class B → default subnet mask 255.255.0.0 Number of 1 in default subnet mask 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000=16 New subnet mask 255.255.254.0 Number of 1 in Custom subnet mask 11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000 =23 1= 2 decimal. Use increment to find network ranges Start with your given network address and add your increment to the subnetted octet: 172.16.0.0 172.16.2.0 172.16.4.0 etc… You can now fill in your end ranges, which is the last possible IP address before you start the next range 172.16.0.0 – 172.16.1.255 172.16.2.0 – 172.16.3.255 172.16.4.0 – 172.16.5.255 etc… Ex: Number of needed usable hosts 29 Network Address 23.0.0.0 Address class A Default subnet mask 255.0.0.0 Custom subnet mask 255.255.255.224 Total number of subnets 524,288 Total number of host addresses 32 Number of usable addresses 30 Number of bits borrowed 19 Number of needed subnets 6 Number of needed usable hosts 30 Network Address 195.85.8.0 Address class C Default subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Custom subnet mask 255.255.255.224 Total number of subnets 8 Total number of host addresses 32 Number of usable addresses 30 Number of bits borrowed 3 Number of needed subnets 126 Number of needed usable hosts 131,070 Network Address 118.0.0.0 Address class A Default subnet mask 255.0.0.0 Custom subnet mask 255.254.0.0 Total number of subnets 128 Total number of host addresses 131,072 Number of usable addresses 131,070 Number of bits borrowed 7 Host IP Address 172.30.1.33 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Number of Subnet Bits 8 Number of Subnets 256 Number of Host Bits per Subnet 256 Number of Usable Hosts per Subnet 254 Subnet Address for this IP Address 172.30.1.0 IP Address of First Host on this Subnet 172.30.1.1 IP Address of Last Host on this Subnet 172.30.1.254 Broadcast Address for this Subnet 172.30.1.255 Host IP Address 172.30.1.33 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.252 Number of Subnet Bits 14 Number of Subnets 16384 Number of Host Bits per Subnet 4 Number of Usable Hosts per Subnet 2 Subnet Address for this IP Address 172.30.1.32 IP Address of First Host on this Subnet 172.30.1.33 IP Address of Last Host on this Subnet 172.30.1.34 Broadcast Address for this Subnet 172.30.1.35 Host IP Address 192.168.3.219 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.252 Number of Subnet Bits 14 Number of Subnets 16384 Number of Host Bits per Subnet 4 Number of Usable Hosts per Subnet 2 Subnet Address for this IP Address 192.168.3.216 IP Address of First Host on this Subnet 192.168.3.217 IP Address of Last Host on this Subnet 192.168.3.218 Broadcast Address for this Subnet 192.168.3.219
