network using subnet calculator.
Online lab
To enhance your understanding of the topic, you are encouraged to attempt the following projects from the
textbook:
• Hands-On Project 2-3 to determine the subnet mask required to support a specific number of subnets on an IPv4
network using subnet calculator.
• Hands-On Project 2-4 to understand the basics of IPv4 subnetting.
• Hands-On Project 2-5 to comprehend how changing the specified number of subnet for an IP address defined the
scope of the address range.
Advanced Digital Computer Company needs to subnet their allocated network address 192.168.128.0/20 for their corporate network,
given in the diagram below (Figure 1).
Complete the table below according to the following requirements using the original network address 192.168.128.0/20:
1. Use VLSM addressing, ie the minimum number of bits to include all required hosts.
2. The gateways are the last usable host address(es) of each subnet.
3. The printer is the 5th usable host address of each subnet, except for the WANs.

Note: WAN addresses can be used interchangeably, depends on which WAN is first, second or third. In other words, Red might have
green addresses or Aqua addresses and vice versa.
