Challenge Question

Question: Now that you have gained some expertise in creating addressing schemes, demonstrate how you would divide the IPv4 network address of 201.100.50.0/24 such that each subnet would support 40 hosts. What subnet mask would you need? What is the range of addresses for the first subnet? (15 points)

Answer 1

In this activity, I successfully engaged with IP addressing and virtualization concepts, which involved creating an addressing table, executing ping tests, and configuring DHCP settings. Through these hands-on exercises, I gained practical experience in managing IP addresses and configuring network devices to ensure proper communication and connectivity. Additionally, this activity reinforced my understanding of subnetting, DHCP allocation, and the role of virtual networks in modern IT environments. The skills acquired from this experience will undoubtedly benefit me in both my academic pursuits, as I delve deeper into networking courses, and my professional career, where a solid grasp of networking fundamentals is essential for effective troubleshooting and infrastructure management. Overall, this practical application of theoretical knowledge has significantly enhanced my confidence in engaging with complex network configurations.

Challenge Question: Subnetting Demonstration

To divide the IPv4 network address of 201.100.50.0/24 such that each subnet supports 40 hosts, I would require a subnet mask of /26. This provides a total of 64 addresses per subnet (2^(32-26) = 64), with 62 usable addresses (64 - 2 for network and broadcast). Consequently, the range of addresses for the first subnet would be from 201.100.50.0 to 201.100.50.63.
