No offense, but this is CCNA material. If you are going for your CCNP, then you should already have your CCNA and know the answer. But anyway...
If you need a network with 400 hosts, the smallest subnet would have a /23 mask. So take the first part of your given network and assign it to that: 192.168.24.0/23 (192.168.24.0-192.168.25.255) Then you need one with 200 hosts. Well, that could fit within a /24 subnet, so assign the next available to that: 192.168.26.0/24 (192.168.26.0-192.168.26.255) Now you only have 192.168.27.0/24 left from the original 192.168.24.0/23 (which covered 192.168.24.0-192.168.27.255). You need two 50's, so that should fit within /26 subnets each. Assign them: 192.168.27.0/26 (192.168.27.0-192.168.27.63) 192.168.27.64/26 (192.168.27.64-192.168.27.191) Finally, you need three subnets that can have two hosts each, which would fit within /30 subnets. So assign: 192.168.27.192/30 192.168.27.196/30 192.168.27.200/30 Fred Reimer - CCNA Eclipsys Corporation, 200 Ashford Center North, Atlanta, GA 30338 Phone: 404-847-5177 Cell: 770-490-3071 Pager: 888-260-2050 NOTICE; This email contains confidential or proprietary information which may be legally privileged.

We are covering CIDR. The book is VEEEEEERY vague on how the bit patterns break down and are used. This was a problem posed in one of my CCNP labs I have network number 192.168.24.0 / 22 from this I need networks with 400 hosts 200 hosts 50 hosts 50 hosts 2 hosts (for serial int - no ip un-numbered allowed ) 2 hosts 2 hosts Also no NATing Thanks all I really could use the help Steve **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html **Please support GroupStudy by purchasing from the GroupStudy Store: http://shop.groupstudy.com FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
