Consider an IP sunbnet with prefix 129.17.129.97/27. Provide the range of IP addresses ( of form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy) that can be assigned to this subnet. Please explain answer.

Solution

Given: 129.17.129.97/27.

So, IP Address: 129.17.129.97 10000001.00010001.10000001.011 00001

Net mask is: 255.255.255.224 11111111.11111111.11111111.111 00000

Its a Class B network.

Host Address is:   10000001.00010001.10000001.011 00000

Broadcast Address is: 10000001.00010001.10000001.011 11111

But, the range of address is: 10000001.00010001.10000001.011 00001 to 10000001.00010001.10000001.011 11110

Which means 129.17.129.97 - 129.17.129.126 So, a total of 126 - 97 + 1 = 30 hosts.
