Question

For each of the computers A, B, C, D and E assign an IP address, a subnet mask, and a default gateway.

By understanding the Router’s IP address and Subnet Mask, you should be able to configure the PCs on the networks. A PC can sometimes can get their configuration details from multiple routers.

Internet 160.20.0.25 255.0.0.0 160.15.20.1 255.255.255.0 160.5.20.35 255.255.0.0 160.5.42.6 255.255.0.0 160.6.16.1 255.255.255.0 IP address Subnet mask e Def. Gateway El IP address Subnet mask A Def Gateway IP address Subnet mask Def. Gateway IP address Subnet mask Def. Gateway IP address Subnet mask Def. Gateway

Explanation / Answer

Since A and B are connected to a router with IP address 160.15.20.1. Therefore their def. gateways and subnet mask will be same i.e., 160.15.20.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively. Now, PC A and PC B can be assigned any address in the range 160.15.20.0 to 160.15.20.254.

Similarly, PC C can have an IP address in range 160.5.0.0 to 160.5.255.254 (except the fact that there is no IP conflict) and their def. gateway and subnet mask are 160.5.20.35 and 255.255.0.0.

Since D and E are connected to a router with IP address 160.6.16.1. Therefore their def. gateways and subnet mask will be same i.e., 160.6.16.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively. Now, PC D and PC E can be assigned any address in the range 160.6.16.0 to 160.6.16.254.

Now, the following table gives you a possible assignment if the IP addresses to the given PCs.

Hope it helps, feel free to comment in case of any query.
