A network architect is subnetting the IP address block to provision dedicated VLANs for expanding branch offices. Each VLAN requires support for at least usable host IP addresses while conserving as much address space as possible. Subnets are allocated sequentially starting from the beginning of the block. What is the broadcast address of the subnet allocated?

Cevap
The broadcast address of the 5th allocated subnet is .
To support usable hosts, the subnet must provide at least host IP addresses. Using the formula , host bits yields usable hosts, which does not meet the requirement. Therefore, host bits must be used ( usable hosts), corresponding to a prefix with a block size of IP addresses per subnet. Counting sequentially from , the 5th subnet is , which has a broadcast address of .
