An organization has been assigned the network number 140.25.0.0/16 and it needs to create networks that support up to 60 hosts on each IP network. What is the maximum number of networks that can be set up? Explain your answer.

What will be an ideal response?


Since we need to support up to 60 hosts on each of the networks, therefore we need at least 6 bits for the host number (since 2^6-2=62>60), that means we can allocate up to 32-16-6=10 bits for subnet number, therefore we can have a maximum number of 2^10=1024 networks being set up.
