An ISP is granted the block 80.70.56.0/21. The ISP needs to allocate addresses for
two organizations each with 408 hosts, two organizations each with 128 hosts, and three
organizations each with 42 hosts.
• Find the number and range of addresses in the ISP block.
• Find the range of addresses for each organization and the range of unallocated addresses.
• Show the outline of the address distribution and the forwarding table.
Given Major Network address of the block is : 80.70.56.0/21
Network ID = 21 bits.
Host ID = 32 - 21 = 11 bits.
Number of addresses possible = 211 = 2048.
Range:
Network:: 01010000.01000110.00111 000.00000000
==> 80.70.56.0/21
Broadcast: 01010000.01000110.00111 111.11111111
==>80.70.63.255
HostMin: 80.70.56.1
HostMax: 80.70.63.254
Therefore, Address Range is 80.70.56.0 - 80.70.63.255
