Answer :
To form subnets for the seven departments, you should use the subnet masks listed above, which provide the necessary number of host addresses for each department while ensuring efficient utilization of the available IP address space in the Class C network 192.168.10.0.
To accommodate the required number of hosts for each department, you will need to create subnets with the following subnet masks:
A. 58 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192 (/26)
B. 44 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192 (/26)
C. 10 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 (/28)
D. 22 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 (/27)
E. 29 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 (/27)
F. 12 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 (/28)
G. 25 hosts - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 (/27)
Each subnet mask is determined by the minimum number of hosts needed for each department. We need to consider the additional two IP addresses used for network and broadcast addresses. The CIDR notation (e.g., /26) represents the number of bits used for the network portion of the address.
