Practical Subnetting Exercises
Identify the IP Address and Required Subnet Mask
Start with the IP address: begin with the IP address you want to divide, such as 192.168.1.0
.
Determine the number of subnets: if you need 4 subnets, decide on the appropriate subnet mask to accommodate them.
Calculate the Number of Subnets
Formula: use the formula 2^n - 2
where n
is the number of bits borrowed from the host portion of the address to determine the number of subnets. For instance, borrowing 2 bits results in 4 subnets.
Determine Subnet Ranges
Assign subnet ranges: using the subnet mask, assign subnet ranges. If your original subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
and you need to create 4 subnets, your new subnet mask would be 255.255.255.192
.
192.168.1.0 – 192.168.1.63
(Subnet 1)192.168.1.64 – 192.168.1.127
(Subnet 2)192.168.1.128 – 192.168.1.191
(Subnet 3)192.168.1.192 – 192.168.1.255
(Subnet 4)
Configure Devices
Assign IP addresses: devices in the HR department could use addresses from 192.168.1.10 – 192.168.1.30
under Subnet 1 to ensure they are logically grouped.
Testing and Verification
Connectivity tests: after configuration, test connectivity to ensure devices within the same subnet can communicate, and verify isolation between subnets if required.
Document Your Subnets
Documentation: always document the subnet ranges, IP addresses, and configuration settings for future reference and troubleshooting.
