Chapter 12, Problem 1DE

Explanation of Solution

Number of hosts per network:

The default subnet mask of class A is 255.0.0.08.

The IP address is 32 bits.

In this problem, we take 4 bits from the host and add it to network bits.

So,

8 + 4 = 12 bits.

Therefore, the mask bit is = 12.

Consider each octet has 8 bits

In this, we take 8 bits from the 1st octet and 4 bit from the 2nd octet so it can be used in 11 departments.

The remaining bits are

4 bits+ 8 bits+ 8 bits= 20 bits...

Explanation of Solution

Five range of addresses:

The first 5 range of addresses that can be assigned to different departments are,

An IP address can be written as a 32-bit number. For a class B network, the two most significant bits are set to 10. The 16 most significant bits are used as a network ID, and the 16 least significant bits are used as a host ID. However, the host ID cannot be all O's or all 1's. How many hosts (i.e., host IDs) can there be on a class B network? Type your answer.
Suppose Alan, with a Web-based e-mail account (such as Gmail or Yahoo! Mail), sends a message to Benson, who accesses his mail from his mail server using POP3. Discuss how the message gets from Alan's host to Benson's host. Be sure to list the series of application-layer protocols that are used to move the message between the two hosts.
Assuming that your company uses the class A network 100.0.0.0/8, with what subnet mask would you need to configure all computers on the network to divide this network 11 times to match the 11 departments? How many hosts can you have per network?What are the first five ranges of addressesthat you can assign to differentdepartments?
