Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -You need to subnet a network into 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use? Explanation: You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.
Detailed explanation-2: -With a single network subnet and only 20 hosts, the simplest thing to do would be to use 255.255.255.0 as your subnet mask. This would mean you would have 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.254 for your hosts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Class C networks use a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and have 192-223 as their first octet.
