You are responsible for designing a hospital network with one administrative

department and seven clinical departments. The hospital network is given the IP address

$153\mathrm{.}20\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0/16.$ Using this information, answer the questions below.

a$.$ Total number of sub$-$networks in the hospital: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

b$.$ Number of subnet bits required to create the subnets: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

c$.$ New subnet mask: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

d$.$ The subnet address of the first sub$-$network:$\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

e$.$ The first valid IP address in the first sub$-$network: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

f$.$ The $10$th valid IP address in the first sub$-$network: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$

g$.$ The broadcast address for the first sub$-$network: $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$
