Instructor’s Remark
Section 1. IP Subnetting (40 points) 1 – Answer the following questions (20 points). Figure 1 is your company’s physical topology. Your company has received a class C network address of How many collision domains are there in the network?_______28_________ According to Figure 1, what is the maximum number of IP address needed for a network? (Assuming you will assign an IP address for each switch)? _____9___________ What will the subnet mask be? ___255.255.255.240_________ How many hosts per subnet can be used? _____14______ 2 – Determine subnets and valid host IP addresses (20 points). Fill the below table by subnets that can be created with the minimum number of subnet bit(start from subnet #0). Subnet

Media Converters G. All of the above 2. The TestKing corporate LAN consists of one large flat network. You decide to segment this LAN into two separate networks with a router. What will be the affect of this change? A. The number of broadcast domains will be decreased. B. It will make the broadcasting of traffic between domains more efficient between segments. C. It will increase the number of collisions. D. It will prevent segment 1's broadcasts from getting to segment 2. E. It will connect segment 1's broadcasts to segment 2. 3. Which of the following are benefits of segmenting a network with a router? (Select all that apply) A. Broadcasts are not forwarded across the router. B. All broadcasts are completely eliminated. C. Adding a router to the network decreases latency. D. Filtering can occur based on Layer 3 information. E. Routers are more efficient than switches and will process the data more quickly. F. None of the above. 4. Given the choices below, which address represents a unicast address? A. 224.1.5.2 B. FFFF. FFFF. FFFF. C. 192.168.24.59/30 D. 255.255.255.255
