Question

given a starting address: 192.200.0.0 deltona has 4,000 users new smyrna beach has 5,000 users daytona beach has 6,500 users what is the ending address for the daytona beach group of users? remember it is not necessary to include the cidr.

Answer 1

To find the ending address for the Daytona Beach group of users with 6,500 users, we calculate a /19 subnet which allows for 8,192 addresses. Assuming sequential assignment, we add 8,192 addresses to the starting address to get the ending address, minus one for the broadcast address.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the ending address for the Daytona Beach group of users, we need to determine the number of IP addresses needed and then find the proper subnet that can accommodate those users. With 6,500 users, the smallest power of 2 that can contain 6,500 is
`2^(13)` (since
`2^(12)` = 4,096 is too small and
`2^(13)` = 8,192 is the next power of two). This corresponds to a /19 subnet (since 32 - 19 = 13).

Assuming that the addresses for Deltona and New Smyrna Beach are assigned sequentially before Daytona Beach, the starting address for Daytona Beach would be after accommodating addresses for 4,000 (Deltona) and 5,000 (New Smyrna Beach) users. The next suitable subnet after the Deltona and New Smyrna beach assignments would be the starting address for Daytona Beach.

To find the ending address for Daytona Beach, we add
`2^(13)` = 8,192 to the starting address of this group, minus one for the broadcast address. If Daytona Beach starts at 192.200.16.0 (assuming the other two cities take up the first 16.0 subnets), the ending address would be 192.200.31.255, since this is the last address of the /19 subnet block that began at 192.200.16.0.

Answer 2

The ending address for the Daytona Beach group of users, given a starting block of 192.200.0.0 and a requirement to accommodate 6,500 users, would be 192.200.63.255. This calculation is based on the allocation of IP address blocks to each city, taking into account the size of the user population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The issue at hand entails the allocation of IP addresses to different user groups within three cities: Deltona, New Smyrna Beach, and Daytona Beach. This type of problem falls under network administration and involves understanding IP address allocation and subnetting. To allocate IP addresses efficiently to each city based on the number of users, we need to specify the network's portion of each city's address that will accommodate at least the number of users specified.

For Deltona with 4,000 users, the closest block of addresses that can accommodate this is a /20, which caters to 4,096 IP addresses. For New Smyrna Beach with 5,000 users, a /19 is required, providing 8,192 IP addresses. Daytona Beach with 6,500 users would also need a /19 to accommodate its users. To calculate the ending address for Daytona Beach, we begin with the starting address for Daytona Beach, which would be just after New Smyrna Beach's block, and continue to the last address in its range.

If we were to start the addresses right after 192.200.0.0, assuming no gaps for simplicity:

Deltona: Start at 192.200.0.0, end at 192.200.15.255 (/20 block)

New Smyrna Beach: Start at 192.200.16.0, end at 192.200.31.255 (/19 block)

Daytona Beach would then start at 192.200.32.0 and the ending address for the Daytona Beach group of users would be 192.200.63.255 (/19 blocks).
