1. You are provided with two IP addresses.

175.15.10.25/16

175.15.150.45/16

Answer the following questions.

a) What is the netmask?

b) what is the Network address?

c) What is the broadcast address?

2. The network administrator decides that the network should be partitioned into 4 subnets. (Note that to be able to create 4 subnets you should borrow 2-bits from the host ID-segment. Based on the network address found in question 1, and given the host IP address, answer the following questions.

a) What is the subnet Mask

b) What is... (include the "/" for the CIDR notation at the end)

(i) the first subnet network address

(ii) the first subnet broadcast address

(iii) the first subnet IP range

c) What is... (include the "/" for the CIDR notation at the end)

(i) the second subnet network address

(ii) the second subnet broadcast address

(iii) the second subnet IP range

d) What is... (include the "/" for the CIDR notation at the end)

(i) the third subnet network address

(ii) the third subnet broadcast address

(iii) the third subnet IP range

e) What is... (include the "/" for the CIDR notation at the end)

(i) the fourth subnet network address

(ii) the fourth subnet broadcast address

(iii) the fourth subnet IP range

3) After the above subnets are created, assume that the host IP addresses remain the same.

To which subnets will the hosts now belong?
