Complete the following subnetting exercises.

Given a class $"C"$ address, what is the subnet mask needed to provide at least $16$

networks?

How many bits are needed to create $16$ networks?

Record subnet mask in binary format:

Record subnet mask in dotted decimal notation:

Your networking department has been given the network address $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}0/24$

Nine networks are needed within the lab for hardware from various courses. Each

subnet must be able to have at least $15$ hosts. Record answers to the following

questions:

How many network bits are needed to create $9$ networks?

Record subnet mask in binary format:

Record subnet mask in dotted decimal notation:

How many host bits will this new subnet mask create?

Calculate how many hosts per network showing $2n-2$ formula:
