 What is IP Subnetting?


IP subnetting is a process of dividing a larger network into smaller subnetworks to improve network performance, security, and address allocation efficiency. It involves using a subnet mask to determine which portion of an IP address identifies the network and which portion identifies the host.To solve the given problem:

1. Identify the network address:

The IP address is 10.35.154.117, and the subnet mask is 255.240.0.0.

2. Convert the subnet mask to binary:

255.240.0.0 = 11111111.11110000.00000000.00000000

3. Determine the network and host portions:

The first 12 bits (11111111.1111) represent the network, and the remaining 20 bits are for hosts.

4. Calculate the network address:

10.35.154.117 AND 255.240.0.0 = 10.32.0.0

5. Find the broadcast address:

The broadcast address will have all host bits set to 1.

10.47.255.255

6. Determine the last valid host:

The last valid host is one address before the broadcast address

Therefore, the last valid host on the network that 10.35.154.117 255.240.0.0 is a part of is:10.47.255.254

This address represents the highest usable IP address in the subnet before the broadcast address
