Assume you are a network administrator, trying to decide what subnet mask to use with

your networks. You have been given the Class C IP address $213\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}65\mathrm{.}0$ What is the

maximum number of devices you could connect to your network, assuming they are

each assigned a unique IP address, and what netmask would you use to accomplish

this.

a$)$ If you use a netmask of $255\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0$ you would have ~$16\mathrm{.}7$ million unique IP addresses to

assign to your hosts.

b$)$ If you use a netmask of $255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0$ you would have $65534$ unique IP addresses to

assign to your hosts.

c$)$ If you use a netmask of $255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}0$ you would have $254$ unique IP addresses to

assign to your hosts.

d$)$ If you use a netmask of $255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}0$ you would have $256$ unique IP addresses to

assign to your hosts.

e$)$ If you use a netmask of $255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}255\mathrm{.}255$ you would have $256$ unique IP addresses to

assign to your hosts.
