The network address 210.100.56.0 belongs to Class C with a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. A custom subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 allows for 8 total subnets, of which 6 are usable, with each subnet providing 30 usable addresses after reserving 2 for network and broadcast. A total of 3 bits were borrowed from the host portion to achieve this configuration.

Understanding the Problem:

We're given a network address: 210.100.56.0


We need to determine the following:
1. Address Class
2. Default Subnet Mask
3. Custom Subnet Mask
4. Total number of subnets
5. Number of usable subnets
6. Total number of host addresses
7. Number of usable addresses
8. Number of bits borrowed
Solving the Problem:
1. Address Class:
● The first octet (210) is greater than 127 and less than 192.
● Therefore, it belongs to Class C.
2. Default Subnet Mask:
● For Class C, the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. Custom Subnet Mask:
● We need 6 usable subnets and 30 usable hosts per subnet.
● We can use the following formula to calculate the number of bits needed for subnets and
hosts:
2^n >= required_number

For subnets:
2^n >= 6

The smallest n that satisfies this is 3. So, we need 3 bits for subnets.
For hosts:
2^n >= 30

The smallest n that satisfies this is 5. So, we need 5 bits for hosts.
Therefore, we need to borrow 3 bits from the host portion of the default subnet mask. This gives
us a custom subnet mask of:
255.255.255.224
4. Total number of subnets:
● With 3 bits borrowed, we can have 2^3 = 8 total subnets.
5. Number of usable subnets:
● We can use 6 of the 8 subnets, so the number of usable subnets is 6.
6. Total number of host addresses:
● With 5 bits for hosts, each subnet can have 2^5 = 32 total host addresses.
7. Number of usable addresses:
● In each subnet, 2 addresses are reserved for the network address and the broadcast
address.
● So, each subnet has 32 - 2 = 30 usable addresses.
8. Number of bits borrowed:
● As calculated earlier, we borrowed 3 bits from the host portion.
Summary:
Parameter Value
Address Class Class C
Default Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Custom Subnet Mask 255.255.255.224
Total number of subnets 8
Number of usable subnets 6
Total number of host addresses 32
Number of usable addresses 30
Number of bits borrowed 3
