Question

You are about to start a small company. You contact your ISP for 1200 host addresses. Your ISP allocates
the following addresses:
192.1.0.*
192.1.1.*
192.1.2.*
192.1.3.*
192.1.4.*
Now, you should broadcast the least number of routes possible to exactly cover your IP addresses. You
should use the address format a.b.c.d/x or a.b.c/x or a.b/x. Again make sure it is the least set of network
numbers that you are broadcasting. Give the addresses that you will broadcast using the address format
a.b.c.d/x or a.b.c/x or a.b/x.
