Why do routers (and network designers) use subnet masks? (2 answers; 2 points) Group of answer choices To determine what brand/model of routers to choose To calculate the number of hosts in the subnet To ensure all hosts in an organization use the same subnet To protect from online viruses To define the size of the network and subnet part of the addresses in a subnet

Step 1
A subnet mask is used to divide an IP address into two parts: the network part and the host part. This helps in organizing and managing IP addresses within a network. Show more…

This also means that we now only have 4 bits to use for the host address on each network. So this means the maximum number of host addresses on each subnet is 2^4 = 16. Deliverables Now that you understand how to make decisions regarding subnet masks, work on the following problems: 1. Given a Class C network and a number of subnets required, complete the table to identify the number of bits to borrow from the host field to use for the subnet field and the maximum number of host addresses available per subnet. Number of Subnets Required | Number of Bits to Borrow for the Subnet Field | Maximum Number of Hosts per Subnet | Subnet Mask in Binary and Decimal Representation 2 | | | 5 | | | 12 | | | 24 | | | 40 | | | 2. Given a Class B network and a number of subnets required, complete the table to identify the number of bits to borrow from the host field for the subnet field and the maximum number of host addresses available per subnet.

How many subnets and hosts per subnet are available if you apply a mask / 28 class C network 210.10.2.0? (Explain why is correct or wrong every option ) a. 30 subnets and hosts 6 b. 6 subnets and 30 hosts c. 8 subnets and 32 hosts d. 32 subnets and 18 hosts e. 14 subnets and 14 hosts f. None of the above

2. Given the subnet mask associated with each of the following IP addresses, compute: a. The network number. b. The subnet number. c. The host number. IP Address | Subnet Mask | (a) Network Number | (b) Subnet Number | (c) Host Number 123.249.218.192 | 255.255.248.0 185.160.241.221 | 255.255.255.128 137.230.211.234 | 255.255.248.0 120.178.243.163 | 255.255.252.0 165.160.241.121 | 255.255.255.192
