Q:

What is the subnet for host ID 10.16.3.65/23?

Answer

A/23 is 255.255.254.0. The third octet is a block size of 2.0, 2, 4. The subnet is in the 16.2.0 subnet; the broadcast address is 16.3.255

Q:

You have a Class B network and need 29 subnets. What is your mask?

Answer

A default Class B is 255.255.0.0. A Class B 255.255.255.0 mask is 256 subnets, each with 254 hosts. We need fewer subnets. If we used 255.255.240. 0, this provides 16 subnets. Let's add one more subnet bit. 255.255.248.0. This is 5 bits of subnetting, which provides 32 subnets. This is our best answer A/21

Q:

Which configuration command must be in effect to allow the use of 8 subnets if the Class C subnet mask is 255.255.25.224?

A) Router(config)#ip classless B) Router(config)#ip version 6
C) Router(config)#ip unnumbered D) Router(config)#ip subnet-zero
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Router(config)#ip subnet-zero

Explanation:

A Class C subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 is 3 bits on and 5 bits off (11100000) and provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. However, if the command ip subnet-zero is not used, then only 6 subnets would be available for use.

Q:

What is the maximum number of IP addresses that can be assigned to hosts on a local subnet that uses the 255.255.255.224 subnet mask?

A) 15 B) 16
C) 30 D) 31
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

A/27 (255.255.255.224) is 3 bits on and 5 bits off. This provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. Does it matter if this mask is used with a Class A, B, or C network address? Not at all. The number of host bits would never change.

Q:

You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each wit at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use?

A) 255.255.255.192 B) 255.255.255.224
C) 255.255.255.240 D) 255.255.255.248
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 255.255.255.224

Explanation:

You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts - this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.

Q:

What is the subnetwork address for a host with the IP address 200.10.5.68/28?

A) 200.10.5.56 B) 200.10.5.32
C) 200.10.5.64 D) 200.10.5.0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 200.10.5.64

Explanation:

This is a pretty simple question. A/28 is 255.255.255.240, which means that our block size is 16 in the fourth octent. 0,16, 32, 48, 64, 80, etc. The host is in the 64 subnet.

Q:

The network address of 172.16.0.0/19 provides how many subnets and hosts?

A) 7 subnets, 2046 hosts each B) 7 subnets, 8190 hosts each
C) 8 subnets, 2046 hosts each D) 8 subnets, 8190 hosts each
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 subnets, 8190 hosts each

Explanation:

A CIDR address of/19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so that is only 3 subnet bits, but it provides 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8,190 hosts.

Q:

If a host on a network has the address 172.16.45.14/30, what is the subnetwork this host belongs to?

A) 172.16.45.0 B) 172.16.45.4
C) 172.16.45.8 D) 172.16.45.12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 172.16.45.12

Explanation:

A/30, regardless of the class of address, has a 252 in the fourth octet. This means we have a block size of 4 and our subnets are o,4,8,12,16, etc. Address 14 is obviously in the 12 subnet.
