Question

You are a Network administrator for a company whose IP address is 199.199.10.0/24. Your company has two departments. Research needs 13 hosts and Marketing needs 31 hosts. Using VLSM; what is the network address of the second subnet?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

VLSM is Variable Fixed Length Subnet Mask which creates subnets with varying sizes with a variable number of hosts.

Arrange the different subnets with descending number of hosts required. So the first subnet will be for Marketing and the second will be for Research. The second subnet will have the second higher IP available which is 199.199.10.0/26. It has 64 IP addresses that can be assigned to 13 hosts required by Research.
