 What is CIDR? Explain concept of subnet and subnet mask.

An organization is granted the block 223.17.180.0/26. The administrator wants to
create 64 subnets.
a. Find the subnet mask
b. Find the number of addresses in each subnet.
c. Find the first and last address in first subnet.
d. Find the first and last address in last subnet.
 Consider Subnet mask of class B network on the internet is 255.255.240.0 then, what is
the maximum number of hosts per subnets?
 Variable Length Subnet Masking in CIDR

An ISP has a block 190.16.0.0./15:

(a) 1st group has 128 customers, each customer requires 256 IP Addresses.

For end sem

 (b) 2nd group has 64 customers, each customer requires 128 IP Addresses.

(c) 3rd group has 16 customers, each customer requires 64 IP Addresses.

Assign IP Addresses in the given order.

 If one of the address of a block is 114.28.42.83/26. If this block is divided into 4 equal
sub-blocks, then calculate the range of block and range of sub-blocks.

mask is used?
 What is the broadcast address on subnet 32 given a prefix notation of 12.1.0.0/12?
 You have a network with network ID 200.1.2.0, how you divide the network into two
parts.
