Converting Decimal to Binary and Binary to Decimal (20 points)
Instructions for the Binary Conversion Exercise:
NOTE! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CLICK ON THE DIAGRAM TO START THE LAB.
The diagram displayed during the experiment is not used.


The only buttons that you need to be concerned about are the Suggested Approach and the Sample Solution.
Write a paragraph (a minimum of five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in
this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this weeks TCOs and other course material, and just
as importantly, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (8 points)
When we convert decimal to binary and binary to decimal it helps us to understand which class the IP address falls
under. By determining the IP address class we will be able to figure out the number of bits in the host portion of
the address and the number of usable hosts in the IP address. This conversion formula is usually used in big
Organizations where assigning an IP address is required to individual employee systems.

The classification of Network addressing helps us in understanding how the IP addresses in home and
Organizations work. By being able to figure out the class of an IP address we will be able to calculate the
maximum number of hosts available per subnet. If we know the available hosts then it could be assigned to the
employees system.
Copy and paste the following screenshots from your Classifying Network Addressing Lab below.
NETW202 Week 2 Lab Report
Task 1: Paste two completed IP Address to Decimal Format Conversion screenshots below. (.6 points each)

Task 2: Convert the following Binary IP Address to Decimal Format and indicate to which class it belongs:
10110100.00100101.00110101.00001010:Decimal format 180.37.53.10 Class: _B____ (.6 points each)
Task 3: Complete Steps 7 through 17 lab questions on:
1. determining an address class, the number of bits in the network ID, and the maximum number of
usable hosts; and
2. testing your knowledge of host IP addresses, whether they are valid or invalid.
Show your work below. (.6 points each)
7. IP address 200.42.129.16 the decimal form of 200 is 11001000 and 110 is in class C so this IP address
falls in Class C. Class c is/24 bits. To calculate the usable hosts 2^8-2 = 256-2 = 254.The usable hosts are
254.
8. IP address 14.82.19.54, the decimal form for 14 is 00001110 since it starts with 0 it falls in Class A and
class A is /8. To calculate the usable hosts 2^24-2 = 16777216-2 = 16777214. The usable hosts are
16777214.
9. IP address 216.27.61.137, the decimal form of 216 is 11011000 since it starts with 110 it falls in class C.
class c is /24. To calculate the usable hosts 2^8-2 = 256-2 = 254.The usable hosts are 254.

10. IP address 198.53.147.45, the decimal form of 198 is 11000110 since it starts with 110 it falls in class
C. class C is /24. To calculate the usable hosts 2^8-2 = 256-2 = 254.The usable hosts are 254.
11. IP address 123.45.67.89, the decimal form of 123 is 01111011 since it starts with 0 it falls in class A.
class A is /8. To calculate the usable hosts 2^24-2 = 16777216-2 = 16777214. The usable hosts are
16777214.
12. IP address 23.75.345.200. The host would be invalid
13. IP address 216.27.61.134. The host would be valid.
14. IP address 102.54.94. The host would be invalid.
15. IP address 255.255.255.255. The host would be invalid.
16. IP address 142.179.148.200. The host would be valid. It is a class B address. The last two octets can
range from 0.1 up to 255.254.
17. IP address 0.124.0.0. The host would be invalid. An IP address cannot start with 0.

Task 4: Complete the following exercises.
1. Determine the address class, the number of bits in the host portion of the address, and the maximum
number of usable hosts for the following IP address: 176.34.56.91
a. Class _B____ (.6 points each)
b. Bits in the host portion of the address _16__ (.6 points each)
c. Maximum usable hosts 65534_ (.6 points each)
2. Determine if the following address is a valid host address. If not, explain why: 120.0.255.255 (1.2
points)
The address is a valid IP address.
