Midterm Sample Questions

Difference between NAS and SAN?

Subnet:

  • What kind of class is the given IP?

  • What is the subnet mask, network address, etc?

  • Subnet addresses?

Host & subnet mask(classless)

BTW: this is the analog of the network address(classful addressing). When we talk about network addresses we are implying a classful network.

  • Subnet bits

i.e. 21 => 8+8+5+0 <= 5 is the odd one out so we have 5 subnet bits

  • VLSM - Variable Length Subnet Mask

Suppose we want to assign addresses to the following networks with x many hosts. A:600; B:1000; C:200

150.180.0.0/16 150.181.0.0/16

Start with the largest network B : requires 1000 hosts.

Hosts part requires 10 bits so we have an IP/22.

Network address then is (subnet address)150.180.0.0/22 - (broadcast address)150.180.3.255/22

NOTE: I included both the subnet(network) address and the broadcast for sake of brevity.
