Subnetting Assignment
The Acme Corp. has been assigned the class C address of 205.32.16.0/24.
They have offices in 5 different locations:
New York with 17 workstations
Chicago with 15 workstations
Los Angeles with 20 workstations
Phoenix with 11 workstations
Boston with 22
It is anticipated that they will grow by 20% within the next few years, before they have to switch over to IPv6 addressing. They are also planning to expand to Dallas with 13 workstations.
Please subnet the 205.32.16.0/24 network into 6 subnets of equal size. For each subnet, please provide:
Network Address (4%)
Broadcast Address (4%)
Subnet Mask (2%)
Range of available IP addresses for that site (5%)
Just for clarification, there are only 6 locations, requiring 6 subnets of EQUAL size. This does NOT mean you will use the entire /24 block of addresses. In other words, there WILL be enough space for 2 more subnets (8 equal subnets total) but we WILL NOT allocate the remaining space to sites. Simply document the beginning and ending address of the unused space for the final 10 points of the project.
