Objectives
Part 1: Design an IPv4 Network Subnetting Scheme
Part 2: Configure the Devices
Part 3: Test and Troubleshoot the Network
Background / Scenario
In this activity, you will subnet the Customer network into multiple subnets. The subnet scheme should be
based on the number of host computers required in each subnet, as well as other network considerations, like
future network host expansion.
After you have created a subnetting scheme and completed the table by filling in the missing host and
interface IP addresses, you will configure the host PCs, switches and router interfaces.
After the network devices and host PCs have been configured, you will use the ping command to test for
network connectivity.

Packet Tracer – Subnet an IPv4 Network
Instructions
How many host addresses are needed in the largest required subnet? 50
Type your answers here.
What is the minimum number of subnets required? 4
The network that you are tasked to subnet is 192.168.0.0/24. What is the /24 subnet mask in binary?
Type /24 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 = 255.255.255.0answers here.
e. The subnet mask is made up of two portions, the network portion, and the host portion. This is
represented in the binary by the ones and the zeros in the subnet mask.
Questions:
In the network mask, what do the ones represent? the network portion
Type your answers here.
f. In the network mask, what do the zeros represent? the host portion
Type your answers here.
g. To subnet a network, bits from the host portion of the original network mask are changed into subnet bits.
The number of subnet bits defines the number of subnets.
Questions:
Given each of the possible subnet masks depicted in the following binary format, how many subnets and
how many hosts are created in each example?
Hint: Remember that the number of host bits (to the power of 2) defines the number of hosts per subnet
(minus 2), and the number of subnet bits (to the power of two) defines the number of subnets. The subnet
bits (shown in bold) are the bits that have been borrowed beyond the original network mask of /24. The
/24 is the prefix notation and corresponds to a dotted decimal mask of 255.255.255.0.
1) (/25) 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000

Dotted decimal subnet mask equivalent: 255.255.255.252
Type your answers here.
Number of subnets? Number of hosts? 64 subnets, 2 hosts
Type your answers here.
Considering your answers above, which subnet masks meet the required number of minimum host
addresses? /25, /26
Type your answers here.
Considering your answers above, which subnet masks meets the minimum number of subnets
required? /26
Type your answers here.
Considering your answers above, which subnet mask meets both the required minimum number of
hosts and the minimum number of subnets required? /26 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000
= 255.255.255.192
When you have determined which subnet mask meets all of the stated network requirements, derive each
of the subnets. List the subnets from first to last in the table. Remember that the first subnet is
192.168.0.0 with the chosen subnet mask.
