ii. IP address: 132.56.8.6
- Netid: 132.56
- Hostid: 8.6
iii. IP address: 208.34.54.12
- Netid: 208.34.54
- Hostid: 12
(b) Class of IP addresses:

- Class: Class C
ii. IP address: 238.34.2.1
- Class: Class D
iii. IP address: 114.34.2.8
- Class: Class A
iv. IP address: 129.14.6.8
- Class: Class B
(c) Subnetting:
i. Subnet mask for block 16.0.0.0/8:
- Since the block is /8, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
ii. Number of addresses in each subnet:
- The subnetting creates 2^(32 - subnet mask length) addresses in each subnet.
- For /8 to /16 (500 subnets), the subnet mask length is 16.
- Therefore, each subnet will have 2^(32-16) = 2^16 = 65536 addresses.
