Addressing Schemes – Subnetting
The Iconic Production is a company newly established in the vicinity of Midrand in the city of Tshwane.

The company has just hired you as their network engineer. You are told that the company currently has

three departments: HR, Marketing and Operations. You are given the IP address: 192.168.5.0/24. You

are required to subnet it as efficiently as possible in order to meet the requirements for the following

number of hosts in the company’s network:
• HR department: 13 hosts
• Marketing department: 61 hosts
• Operations department: 28 hosts
• Link HR-M: 2 addresses
• Link HR-O: 2 addresses
• Link M-O: 2 addresses

For each of the subnets, determine:
• The Network ID
• The subnet mask
• The total number of hosts addresses
• The number of usable host addresses
• The range of usable host addresses
• The broadcast address
Show all your steps and calculations and for each subnet populate the following table:
Name of subnet (LAN)
Network ID
Subnet mask (/notation)
Total number of hosts
Total number of usable hosts
Range of usable hosts addresses
Broadcast address
(Hint: Use the VLSM subnetting scheme.)
