PROBLEM 1. Subnetting (1,5 points)

A service provider has been given the IP address 82.0.0.0. The service provider must define 500
different subnets. Show your work.

a) What is the mask to be used enabling the maximum number of hosts per subnet? How many
different subnet IP addresses will she be able to define with this mask? (0,5 points)

b) Fill the table below with the IP addresses of the first three IP subnet addresses, and the last
two valid IP addresses. (1 point)

PROBLEM 2. Subnetting (2,5 points)
In this problem, you should refer to Figure 1. Assume that you have been given the IP address 201.25.42.0.
The network consists of three routers, three switches, six PCs and three laptops connected to an AP. Design
a network-addressing scheme that will supply the minimum number of subnets required. Circle each subnet
on the figure and answer the questions below. You should hand-in a separate piece of paper showing
the details of your work.

A. Questions (1 point)
Circle each subnet on the figure and fill the following items:

Address Class ______________________________________

Custom subnet mask ______________________________________

Minimum number of subnet needed _______________

Maximum number of hosts per subnet _______________

B. Fill in the table with the information requested for each subnet (1 point)

IP subnet address Host IP address range Broadcast IP address

PROBLEM 3. Fragmentation (2 points)
You should refer to Figure 1. The length of the MTUs used at each link is indicated in Figure 1.
Assume that station PC_1 will be sending a 5,2 KBytes file to stations PC_6. Each packet carries
a 20-Bytes header. The ID of the first packet to be sent is set to 12. Answer the following
questions.

1. How many IP datagram will PC_1 generate? ___________________

2. Provide the values of the following fields for each one of the IP packets generated by PC_1

ID Number Length M Offset

3. For each of the packets listed in the previous table, show the information of the fragments to be
generated by Router 1.

ID Number Length M Offset

5
4. Does any other router perform a packet fragmentation (yes/no)?

If yes, indicate which one ____________ and list using a table similar to the previous one, the id
number, length and the values of the M and offset fields of each fragment created by the router.
