Question 1. a) (i) 10.16.0.0/16 4 bits needed for subnetting. Leaves 12 bits for host addressing. 2^12 = 4096 Subnet mask will be /20 or 255.255.240.0 (don't need to know dotted decimal notation) (ii) Will never ask the last one (again). First subnet: 10.16.10.0./20 Hosts: 10.16.0.1 --> 10.16.15.254 Broadcast: 10.16.15.255 Second subnet: starts from where the first left off Hosts: 10.16.16.1 --> 10.16.31.254 Broadcast: 10.16.31.255 (iii) 10.16.0.0/13 which represents everything form 10.16.0.0 --> 10.23.0.0 b) - a good answer will be about page - write legibly - no competitor for DNS. - don't expect us to know competitors for GNS3 - IXPs are well covered in the notes. - why do IXPs exist? - to keep internet routing as efficient and local as possible - what do they do? Question 2. a) Reasons to use VLANs: - keep traffic separate - security - limit broadcast traffic VLAN 1 is usually reserved as the "Native VLAN" VLAN ID is 12 bits so maximum is 4096. Any valid VLAN ID and subnet is acceptable b) `e0` would be dot1q because it is a trunk port: tags traffic for VLANs `e1` would be dot1q because it is a trunk port: tags traffic for VLANs `e2` is an access port for the Support VLAN 802.1q tags ethernet headers to add the VLAN ID so the packet goes to the correct VLAN. Also have 3 bits which define priority for the packet.
