Module 5: Implementing IPv4

Lab: Implementing IPv4

Exercise 1: Identifying Appropriate Subnets
Task 1: Calculate the bits required to support the hosts on each subnet
1.

How many bits are required to support 100 hosts on the client subnet?
Seven bits are required to support 100 hosts on the client subnet (27-2=126, 26-2=62).

2.

How many bits are required to support 10 hosts on the server subnet?
Four bits are required to support 10 hosts on the server subnet (24-2=14,23-2=6).

3.

How many bits are required to support 40 hosts on the future expansion subnet?
Six bits are required to support 40 hosts on the future expansion subnet (26-2=62, 25-2=30).

4.

If all subnets are the same size, can they be accommodated?

No. If all subnets are the same size, then all subnets must use 7 bits to support 126 hosts. Only a
single class Csized address with 254 hosts has been allocated. Three subnets of 126 hosts would not
fit.

5.

Which feature allows a single network to be divided into subnets of varying sizes?
Variable length subnet masking allows you to define different subnet masks when subnetting.
Therefore, variable length subnet masking allows you to have subnets of varying sizes.

6.

How many host bits will you use for each subnet? Use the simplest allocation possible, which is one
large subnet and two equal sized smaller subnets.
The client subnet is 7 host bits. This allows for up to 126 hosts and uses half of the allocated address
pool.
The server and future expansion subnets are 6 host bits. This allows for up to 62 hosts on each subnet
and uses the other half of the address pool.

Task 2: Calculate subnet masks and network IDs

1.

Given the number of host bits allocated, what is the subnet mask that you will use for the client
subnet? Calculate the subnet mask in binary and decimal.

The client subnet is using 7 bits for the host ID. Therefore, you will use 25 bits for the subnet
mask.

expansion subnet? Calculate the subnet mask in binary and decimal.

4.

The server subnet is using 6 bits for the host ID. Therefore, you will use 26 bits for the subnet
mask.

The future expansion subnet is using 6 bits for the host ID. Therefore, you will use 26 bits for the
subnet mask.

On LON-SVR2, at the Windows PowerShell prompt, type ping LON-DC1, and then press Enter. Notice
that the destination host is unreachable.

2.

Type tracert LON-DC1, and then press Enter. Notice that the host is unable to find the default
gateway, and that it is not the default gateway that is responding back.

3.

Type ipconfig, and then press Enter. Notice that the default gateway is configured correctly.

4.

Type ping 10.10.0.1, and then press Enter. Notice that the default gateway is responding, but that
packets are not being routed there.

5.

Type Get-NetRoute, and then press Enter. Notice that the entry for the default gateway (0.0.0.0) is
correct, but there is an unnecessary entry for the 172.16.0.0 network.

6.

Type Remove-NetRoute DestinationPrefix 172.16.0.0/16, and then press Enter. This removes the
unnecessary route to the 172.16.0.0 network. The default gateway will be used for routing instead.
