Part B: Practical Subnetting

Problem 1: Based on the information in the graphic shown, design a network addressing
scheme that will supply the minimum number of subnets, and allow enough extra subnets
and hosts for 100% growth in both areas. Each subnet on the graphic were encircle, answer
the questions below.

Address class: Class B

Custom subnet mask: Variable (VLSM: /25, /26, /27, /29)
Minimum number of subnets needed: 4
Extra subnets required for 100% growth: Already included in VLSM allocation

Total number of subnets needed: 4
Number of host addresses in the largest subnet group: 126
Number of addresses needed for 100% growth in the largest subnet: 120
Total number of addresses needed for the largest subnet: 128

Problem 2: Based on the information in the graphic shown, design a network addressing
scheme that will supply the minimum number of hosts per subnet, and allow enough extra
subnets and hosts for 30% growth in all areas. Each subnet on the graphic were encircle,
answer the questions below.

Address class: Class B
