Problem A: You have been given the 172.16.10.0 network address to subnet, with the following Network Topology A. Step 1: Determine the number of subnets in Network Topology A. 1) How many subnets are needed? 2) What is the CLASS of this address? 3) How many bits should you borrow to create the required number of subnets? 4) How many usable host addresses will each subnet support?? 5) What is the increment between subnets? 6) How many subnets are available for future use? 7) What is the CIDR? Page 1 of 3 8) What is the Subnet Mask in binary? Step 2: Record the subnet information. Fill in the following table with the subnet information: Use the information provided (for subnet description). Populate the subnetting table in order beginning with "Subnet 0 " for "LAN on R1", "Subnet 1 " for "LAN on R2", etc Step 3: Gateways Notes about gateways: - A gateway address is assigned to the router port of a switch. - The gateway address is the first usable IP in a subnet. - All devices on the same subnet as the gateway will all have the same gateway Notes about assigning IP addresses to devices: - Most companies have their own conventions for assigning IP addresses. - In this case, there is no convention, so you can assign any IPs an the same subnet as the gateway. Refer to Network Topology A and fill in this table
