Your office branch has been assigned the network address of 10.10.0.0/16 by the Corporate HQ.
Presently your network addressing scheme has these addresses split into eight networks as
shown below:
1: 10.10.0.0/19
2: 10.10.32.0/19
3: 10.10.64.0/19
4: 10.10.96.0/19
5: 10.10.128.0/19
6: 10.10.160.0/19
7: 10.10.192.0/19
8: 10.10.224.0/19
You need to take the currently unused block of network 10.10.160.0/19 and further divide it into
eight networks for use by a satellite branch that is being designed on the fourth floor of your
building. What will the new subnet mask be for these new networks?
