When asked a subnetting problem, you can be presented with several pieces of information that describe the situation. Given that information, it will be up to you to figure out the remaining pieces of information to solve the problem. In this document I will present solutions to problems in IP addressing and subnetting work book v1.1 which was produced by Robb Jones. In the first part of the workbook, the types of information that you must be able to identify are as follows: Information required
Value
Address class Default subnet mask Custom subnet mask Total number of subnets Number of usable subnets Total number of host addresses Number of usable addresses Number of bits borrowed Let us now commence solving the problems skipping those that were already solved as examples in the workbook.
