Objective
The objective of this lab is to provide a subnetting scheme using a Class B network
Background / Preparation
This is a written lab and is to be performed without the aid of an electronic calculator.
ABC Manufacturing has acquired a Class B address, 172.16.0.0. The company needs to create a
subnetting scheme to provide the following:
• 36 subnets with at least 100 hosts
• 24 subnets with at least 255 hosts
• 10 subnets with at least 50 hosts

Step 1 Given this Class B network address and these requirements answer the following
questions
How many subnets are needed for this network? 70
What is the minimum number of bits that can be borrowed? 7
What is the subnet mask for this network?
1. Dotted decimal 255.255.254.0
2. Binary 11111111 11111111 11111110 00000000
3. Slash format /23
How many usable subnetworks are there? 27-2 or 126
How many usable hosts are there per subnet? 29-2 or 510
