IPv4 Ch. 15 Design Drills

IP Subnetting includes a variety of math processes that answer specific questions. But how do those processes then apply to building networks? In this BIG exercise, I’ll pull some of those [...]

This post presents questions that ask you to analyze design data about a network and then choose the one subnet mask to use for all subnets. If a company uses one subnet mask for all subnets of [...]

Today’s post just lists the answers to the Mask Design drill #2. The drill lists some basic requirements for a number of hosts per subnet, and a number of subnets, and a network class. Your job: [...]

Here’s another mask design drill, with the same idea as the previous two posts (chronologically speaking). For those of you with my ICND1 book, Chapter 16 spells out the details, and you can just [...]

Today’s post just lists the answers to the Mask Design drill #1. The drill lists some basic requirements for a number of hosts per subnet, and a number of subnets, and a network class. Your job: [...]

Today’s post changes gears, at least for those of you who read regularly when the posts show up. The last few weeks, I’ve focused more on broader prep issues, and today, we’ll get back to [...]

Today’s post shows the solution to subnet design exercise 3, specifically the IP subnets. This post isn’t all that meaningful without reading the other one first – after that, [...]

  The subnet design exercises require that you do some subnetting math, but rather than reacting like you would in a help desk or support job role, you plan as if you were in the role of a [...]

Today’s post shows the solution to subnet design exercise 2, specifically the IP subnets. This post isn’t all that meaningful without reading the other one first – after that, [...]

Today’s exercise requires a little more thought than most of my exercise posts. In this case, you’ll start with two class B networks: 172.20.0.0 and 172.30.0.0. The problem also lists a set [...]

Today’s post picks up the discussion of the solution to the subnet design exercise I posted a while back. Start with the post for the original problem statement, and read from there!

Today’s post shows the beginning of a solution to the subnet design exercise I posted last week. This post isn’t all that meaningful without reading the other one first – after [...]

For the US holiday weekend, I thought I’d leave you with a design exercise that requires a little more thought than most of my exercise posts. In this case, you’ll start with a class [...]
