Which CIDR block allocation fits best inside 10.0.0.0/24 without overlap?

hard📝 Application Q15 of 15
AWS - VPC Fundamentals
You need to design a VPC with exactly 3 subnets: one public with 100 IPs, one private with 50 IPs, and one isolated with 25 IPs. Which CIDR block allocation fits best inside 10.0.0.0/24 without overlap?
A10.0.0.0/24, 10.0.1.0/25, 10.0.2.0/26
B10.0.0.0/26, 10.0.0.64/26, 10.0.0.128/26
C10.0.0.0/25, 10.0.0.128/26, 10.0.0.192/27
D10.0.0.0/26, 10.0.0.64/27, 10.0.0.96/28
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Calculate needed CIDR for each subnet

    100 IPs need at least /25 (128 IPs), 50 IPs need /26 (64 IPs), 25 IPs need /27 (32 IPs).
  2. Step 2: Assign CIDRs inside 10.0.0.0/24 without overlap

    10.0.0.0/25 covers 0-127, 10.0.0.128/26 covers 128-191, 10.0.0.192/27 covers 192-223. These fit perfectly without overlap.
  3. Final Answer:

    10.0.0.0/25, 10.0.0.128/26, 10.0.0.192/27 -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Subnet sizes fit and sum within /24 [OK]
Quick Trick: Match subnet size to nearest CIDR block, assign sequentially [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using CIDRs too small for IP needs
  • Overlapping subnet ranges
  • Assigning subnets outside VPC CIDR
