Subnetting Drills: Find the Subnet ID
By certskills
Since this week’s question requires that you do some sub netting math, it seemed like a good time to toss out some sub netting practice questions. I plan to add a techie topic video about how to find these subnet IDs without using binary math, but in the mean time, here’s the practice. The focus is on finding the subnet ID, not so much what a subnet ID is and what it’s used for. Post queries if you have them!!
Find the subnet ID of the following:
10.4.77.99, 255.255.0.0
10.4.77.99, 255.255.255.0
172.30.201.199, 255.255.255.0
10.4.77.99, 255.255.240.0
10.4.77.99, 255.255.255.224
172.30.201.199, 255.255.255.248
192.168.1.199, 255.255.255.248

AS far as I have done this the subnet ID’s are as follows

@Max –
Thanks for the post. All are correct!
@All –
A rhetorical question – are you ready to get these answers within your time goal?
And another subnet question – were any of these subnet broadcast addresses?

Hi Dan,
I like them all, except the 4th one… I’m confident you’ll see the mistake once you re-look. Thanks for the post!
Wendell
I’m not confident about the 5th one either.

Mirek – correct all around!

Hi Wendell,
I watched different tutorials on subnetting, learned some bits and pieces but your book laid out all the rules which made me feel comfortable on this topic.
Thanks,
Anna
I am now at the point where I can do them in my head in under 10 seconds. Is that good for the exam?
Hi Bav,
Yep, I’d say 10 seconds is plenty fast!
