Question

Q: Would like to know how to solve Networking Basics exercise, details will definitely help in understanding, thanks for taking time and helping me.

Q2: Given an IPv4 address 10.20.30.0/23, design and apply an IP addressing scheme for the topology shown in Figure 1. You must subnet the subnets to provide enough address space to use. Each LAN or WAN requires enough IP addresses to support the number of hosts specified in Table 1.

Explanation / Answer

The network given is : -

10.20.30.0/23

This network have 510 total number of hosts (by formula 232-n - 2)

For subnetting, we need to divide these hosts into 7 subnets . Note that, we can divide hosts only in power of 2, i.e. 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 hosts..

Below is the table generates using above information

16

Note that, number of subnets that can be generated can also only be in power of 2. So here 7 were needed so 8 subnets were generate.

Observe that in last row , the left over subnet was generated. After creating all the subnets i.e. first 7 rows. 24 addresses were left. But with the network address only 6 addresses were possible. So 24-8 = 16 addresses were wasted.

Let me know if you have any concern in this.
