Consider a router with the IP address 192.168.1.254/26: a) Indicate the subnet mask for the above address. b) Demonstrate calculation of the network address (including binary and decimal values). c) Write the relevant DHCP subnet configuration text for this network where the first 50 addresses will be dynamically allocated to hosts.
In this problem we want to find the subnet mask first. The subnet mask can be found from the mask given in the IP address. Next we want to find the network address, for that there are two methods that is mentioned below. Next question is to show the DHCP subnet configuration for 50 hosts. In dynamic IP addresssint, the computer get's and IP address from a DHCP server. The DHCP pool representing the whole 50 address is mentioned in a table given below. The default gateway and DNS is not mentioned there. It only represent the DHCP pool for that 50 hosts.
