Subnetting Exercises
Chapters 12, 13, and 14 list some subnetting exercises, along with time and accuracy goals. Now is a good time to work on those goals. Some options include the following:
Practice from this book’s appendices or web applications: The Chapter Review sections of Chapters 12, 13, and 14 mention addressing and subnetting exercises included with this book. Find all the related applications in the Part IV Review section of the companion website:
Appendix D, “Practice for Chapter 12: Analyzing Classful IPv4 Networks”
Appendix E, “Practice for Chapter 13: Analyzing Subnet Masks”
Appendix F, “Practice for Chapter 14: Analyzing Existing Subnets”
Pearson Network Simulator: The full Pearson ICND1 or CCNA simulator has subnetting math exercises that you can do by using CLI commands. Look for the labs with “IP Address Rejection” and “Subnet ID Calculation” in their names.
Author’s blog: I’ve written a few dozen subnetting exercises on the blog over the years. Just look at the Questions menu item at the top of the page, and you will see a variety of IPv4 addressing and subnetting question types. Start at http://blog.certskills.com.
