Subnetting Skills Challenge

Look at the network diagram below, fill in the correct IP addresses based on the information given in the diagram, and click the "Check Your Answer" button to check your answer. Fill in the fields with IP addresses and no subnet masks, the correct subnet masks are assumed.



Note: The diagram above relates to a PT Skills Challenge in the Cisco Routing Protocols and Concepts Curriculum (section 1.5.3 - 2) This visual diagram may help you make sense of that particular Packet Tracer as well as practice your subnetting skills.

  • amran  - Last addres and First address

    hi. is become a big problem when we decide to use the first address on PC1 or somenthing. and is it become a big problem too if we decide routers (fa0/1) ---> switch (fa0/24). what is a generaly concept in cisco use to decide these all. thanks

    If I'm understanding your question you are asking what is the generally accepted method for picking ip's for certain tasks in a subnet? IE which IP is usually the first assigned to a device like a pc and which is the last? If so then the answer is yes.
    Lets say that he had wanted 4 subnets for this problem and he wanted us to skip subnet 0.
    Subnet 1 would be
    192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.127
    The .64 is the network so we exclude that from devices
    The .65 is generally used for the default gateway ip so we exclude that from devices.
    The .127 is the broadcast IP so we also exlude that from devices.

    So 192.168.1.66 will be the lowest IP we can assign to a device and 192.168.1.126 will be the highest. I hope this makes sense. It's much easier to understand once you've done it a few hundred times. I usually start by determining my network, default gateway, and broadcast IP's, then whatever I'm left with are valid IP's for devices on the network.

  • subpar  - Hehe a different way to subnet

    I am pretty comfortable subnetting in my head but I'm used to a certain way of getting the information on how many networks and devices are needed. This was a little tricky gleaning the information from the problem presentation and translating that into 'Oh. He wants x.x.x.x here and x.x.x.x there. It's good, when you feel a little unsure of a problem and you have to think a little harder you know you're learning. You don't get better at something sticking with what is comfortable.
