Assignment No. 2
(Marks 10)

SCENARIO:

You are the network administrator for a mid-sized company called "TechSolutions Inc." The company has
recently expanded and acquired two new office locations. Each location needs to be set up with its own subnet to
ensure efficient network traffic route management.

Current Network Setup:

 The main office has been assigned the IP address range 192.168.1.0/24 (Class C network).
 The two new offices (Office A and Office B) each need their own subnet, and each office is expected to
support up to 50 devices.

Requirements:

 Create a subnet for Office A.


 Create a subnet for Office B.
 Ensure that the subnets can each support up to 50 devices.
 Calculate the subnet mask for each subnet.
 Determine the range of IP addresses available in each subnet.
 Identify the network address and broadcast address for each subnet.

Considering the requirements mentioned above for the given scenario, answer the following Questions:

Solution:

To support up to 50 devices in each subnet, we need to calculate the number of bits required for the host
portion .

The formula for calculating the number of host addresses is: 2^n-2≥50

2^5-2=30
2^6-2=62

So, we need 6 bits for host portion.

The remaining bits will be used for the network portion. In a Class C network, there are 24 bits for
network portion by default. Subtracting the 6 bits needed for hosts: 24+(8-6)=26.

So network portion will be 26 bits.

Q#1: What minimum bits are required for the host portion to support up to 50 devices? You are required to
compute the subnet mask which is used to ensure that each subnet can support up to 50 devices. You need to
follow the table below for answering question:

Ans:

6 Bits
Number of bits needed for Host ID
New subnet mask for each subnetwork 255.255.255.192/26
255.255.255.192 (or /26 in CIDR notation)

Q#2: Calculate the subnets for Office A and Office B, including their network addresses, broadcast addresses,
and the range of available/useable IP addresses. Provide your answer in the table below:

Ans. 2
Office A Office B

Network 192.168.1.0/26 192.168.1.64/26


Address:
Broadcast 192.168.1.63/26 192.168.1.127/26
Address:
Usable IP 192.168.1.1 -192.168.1.62 192.168.1.65 -192.168.1.126
Range:
Broadcast 192.168.1.63/26 192.168.1.127/26
Address:

Note: You must submit your solution as an MS Word document (DOC or DOCX) file.
