Question

2. An organization has an Internet connection and has been assigned the IP address 201.201.201.0/24. The router connecting the corporation to the Internet has been assigned an IP address of 202.201.201.1/24. There is a LAN at the main corporate site consisting of 49 hosts. Within the next 3 months, the company plans to open an office in Perrysburg with 22 hosts and a third office in Delta with 16 hosts. The company plans to increase the number of hosts on the corporate LAN by 49 within 1 year. There is potential for doubling the size of the remote offices within 6 to 9 months Unfortunately, the IP address space available to the corporation is limited toa single Class C. Will a single Class C be sufficient for this organization? If yes propose a method to efficiently utilize the Class C address space.

Explanation / Answer

Yes, this can be done.

Total number of hosts will be 49+22+16+49= 136 hosts

Since we need three subnet si it need to be /26.
and here we have 4 subnets as it should be multiple of 2
so in total we can have 4*64=256 hosts.

Since 136 is our total number of hosts. It can host extra 49.
