Provide detailed answer and explanation to each questions.

Consider a network with the IP address 192.168.1.1/16

Part I

1. What is the network prefix for this network, in the form a.b.c.d/x?

2. Assuming that this network is to be broken down into two subnets of equal size, write down the network prefix of each subnetwork.

3. Assume that the 1st subnet is divided into 5 equal subnetworks, and write down the network prefix of each subnet.

4. Of the 5 subnets, select the 1st one and write down the first usable address, the last usable address, and the broadcast address.

Part II

For the other subnet of the original address range above, assume that 4 subnetworks need to be created with the following details A - 300 hosts, B - 500 hosts, C - 88 hosts and D - 60 hosts.

1. Using the concept of Variable Length Subnetting, derive and write down the network prefixed of A, B, C and D.

2. Assuming that network A is further divided into two subnetworks (A1 and A2) of size 30 and 200, write down the network prefixed of these subnets.
