Dear Student,

here is the complete answer of the above asked question...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The given IP address = 192.101.32.98/26

The given IP address belong to Class C address.
The default subnet mask for class C is 255.255.255.0
Binary notation of 255.255.255.0 is 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000.
but we have /26 notation it means we have 26 bits which are known as network bits.
so
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.192
Binary notation of 255.255.255.192 is 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000.
It means that 26 bit for network and rest bit for host(bit=1 i.e Network, if bit=0 i.e Host).

Answer....1
What are the first and the last addreesses of this block.?
Here we have borrowed 2 bits then the mask will be 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000
Subnet = 2N=22=4 subnet
Block size (256 - subnet mask) = 256 - 192 = 64.
Valid subnets ( Count blocks from 0) = 0,64,128,192
So here we have 4 subnets and each subnet has block size = 64.
The address 192.101.32.98 comes in the block range of 64 to 128 that is the second subnet.
hence

First address of second subnet = 192.101.32.65/26

Last address of second subnet = 192.101.32.126/26
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer No -2:
Number of addresses granted to this small organization?
Total hosts (2H) in a subnet =26= 64
Valid hosts per subnet ( Total host - 2 ) = 64 - 2 = 62
So we have Total number of address granted = 62 * 4 = 248 address Ans..

Answer-3--
In the subnet 1 administrator want to connect 5 hosts per subnet. So Host are less. So create a network in which
we can connet 5 PCs.We can borrow 5 bits from the Host bit to create subnetwork.
IF i borrow 5 bit then the mask will be 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000
Subnet = 2N=25=32 subnets
Block size (256 - subnet mask) = 256 - 248 = 8.
Valid subnets ( Count blocks from 0) = 0,8,16.......256.
Total hosts (2H) =23= 8
Valid hosts per subnet ( Total host - 2 ) = 8 - 2 = 6
So in this subnets we can connect maximum 6 hosts per subnet. So our requirement is to connect 5 Hosts right?
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.248.0
The network address for Subnet 1 which can connect 5 host is: 192.101.32.0/29
The first usable address for subnet 1 is: 192.101.32.1/29
The last usable address for Subnet 1 is : 192.101.32.6/29
The broadcast address for Subnet 1 is : 192.101.32.7/29
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subnet:2
In the subnet 2 administrator want to connect 14 hosts per subnet. So Host are less. So create a network in
which we can connet 14 PCs.We can borrow 4 bits from the Host bit to create subnetwork.
If i borrow 4 bit then the mask will be 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000
Subnet = 2N=24=16 subnets
Block size (256 - subnet mask) = 256 - 240 = 16.
Valid subnets ( Count blocks from 0) = 0,16,32.......256.
Total hosts (2H) =24= 16
Valid hosts per subnet ( Total host - 2 ) = 16 - 2 = 14
So in this subnets we can connect maximum 14 hosts per subnet. So our requirement is to connect 14 Hosts
right?
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.240.0
The network address for Subnet 2 which can connect 5 host is: 192.101.32.0/28
The first usable address for subnet 2 is: 192.101.32.1/28
The last usable address for Subnet 2 is : 192.101.32.14/28
The broadcast address for Subnet 2 is : 192.101.32.15/28
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Subnet: 3
In the subnet 3 administrator want to connect 21 hosts per subnet. So Host are less. So create a network in
which we can connet 21 PCs.We can borrow 3 bits from the Host bit to create subnetwork.
IF i borrow 3 bit then the mask will be 11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000
Subnet = 2N=23=8 subnets
Block size (256 - subnet mask) = 256 - 224 = 32.
Valid subnets ( Count blocks from 0) = 0,32,64.......256.
Total hosts (2H) =25= 32
Valid hosts per subnet ( Total host - 2 ) = 32 - 2 = 30
So in this subnets we can connect maximum 32 hosts per subnet. So our requirement is to connect 21 Hosts
right?
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.224.0
The network address for Subnet 3 which can connect 21 host is: 192.101.32.0/27
The first usable address for subnet 3 is: 192.101.32.1/27
The last usable address for Subnet 3 is : 192.101.32.30/27
The broadcast address for Subnet 3 is : 192.101.32.31/27
