Instructions
Please write your answers to all questions in the ‘ANSWERS_TEMPLATE_ASSIGNMENT_ONE.docx’
document and upload only the template with answers. It is better that you show all your
working and steps in your calculations for all questions. Although, you may provide only
the final answer in computational questions unless otherwise stated in your question’s
instruction. However, if the answer incorrect (even a typo error), you will receive zero
marks. Hence, it is better that you show all your working and steps in your calculations.
Please ensure that you write your answers in your own words to avoid possible plagiarism
and copyright violation. You can understand the Plagiarism Procedures by following the
corresponding link in the CQUniversity Policies section of the Unit Profile.
Question 1: (3+3=6 marks)
You are given a block of IPv4 address with its CIDR notation as 132.34.12.0/23. Your
organization needs to have three (3) sub-blocks of addresses to use in its three subnets as
shown below:
First subblock of 120 usable host IP addresses.
Second subblock of 100 usable host IP addresses.
Third subblock of 60 usable host IP addresses.
Calculate the subnetworks and answer the following questions for all three of the subblocks.
Make sure you show detailed calculations to get full marks in this question.
a) What is the subnet mask of the subblocks?
(3 marks)
b) What is first and last address of the subblocks?
(3 marks)
