Question

You have leased a Class C network whose network ID is 204.188.89.0. You need to divide it into three subnets to correspond to three different departments in your organization.

For each of the four subnets enter the correct broadcast address.

Broadcast address for the first subnet:
Broadcast address for the second subnet:
Broadcast address for the third subnet:
Broadcast address for the fourth subnet:

Answer 1

IP Address:

An IP address is an identifier or label used to identify a machine on the internet or a particular network. Each of the devices on the internet must have an IP address for identification.

The given IP address is:

204.188.89.0

The above address belongs to class C because the first octet range of class C is: 192 to 223.

The netmask of class C is:

255.255.255.0

To divide into three subnets, we need to reserve two more bits for subnetting.

The subnet mask will be:

255.255.255.192

The broadcast address of the subnet is the last address.

The broadcast address for the first subnet is = 204.188.89.63

The broadcast address for the second subnet is = 204.188.89.127

The broadcast address for the third subnet is = 204.188.89.191

The broadcast address for the fourth subnet is = 204.188.89.255
