This lab introduced me to subnetting and how IP addressing works at the network level. I learned how to calculate network addresses, broadcast addresses, usable IP ranges, and the maximum number of hosts based on a given IP address and subnet mask. It required converting between decimal and binary formats and applying subnetting rules to determine valid ranges. A challenge was accurately calculating the subnets, but it was doable. Overall, it improved my understanding of how IP networks are structured and how subnetting is used to divide and manage networks efficiently.
