Final answer:
The 165 Project Company's subnet can be divided into three: a /28 for private services, a /27 for public services, and another /28 for infrastructure.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option Computers and Technology. The 192.165.1.192/26 subnet can be divided into three smaller subnets to accommodate the different node requirements for the 165 Project Company.
To support 14 nodes, the infrastructure subnet needs a minimum of 16 IPs (14 for nodes, one for network address, and one for broadcast), hence a /28 subnet.
Similarly, the public services subnet requires at least 32 IPs, so it needs to be a /27 subnet, whereas the second /28 subnet will be for the private services.
The lowest subnet, 192.165.1.192/28, will be for private services with the range 192.165.1.192 - 192.165.1.207. The remaining IPs after the network, broadcast, and default gateway IP, from 192.165.1.198 to 192.165.1.206, are available for DHCP allocation.
The next subnet, 192.165.1.208/27, for public services, spans from 192.165.1.208 - 192.165.1.239. DHCP can allocate from 192.165.1.225 to 192.165.1.238, just before the default-gateway.
The final subnet, 192.165.1.240/28, supports the infrastructure and has an IP range from 192.165.1.240 - 192.165.1.255, with DHCP assigning from 192.165.1.248 to 192.165.1.254, excluding the last IP for the default-gateway.
For the ISC DHCP server configuration, the IP of the DHCP and DNS server, net-srv.infra.165pro.net, will be one of the IPs assigned outside the DHCP range but within each subnet's range.
The DHCP server will allocate the latter half of each subnet's IPs, excluding the last IP (reserved for the default-gateway), and will serve as the DNS server.
