Q:

The network with ip address 192.168.100.0/27 is to be used on a router. If ip subnet-zero is configured, which statement describe the resulting number of available subnets and hosts?

A) 7 usable subnets, each with 32 host addresses B) 8 usable subnets, each with 30 host addresses
C) 8 usable subnets, each with 27 host addresses D) 7 usable subnets, each with 24 host addresses
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8 usable subnets, each with 30 host addresses

Explanation:

Because subnet zero is configured and we have a class C address (192.168.100.0) then the network portion will have 3 bits so 8 subnets will be available. The rest of the bits, 5, represent the available hosts, so 2^5=32, but only 30 are available, 0 ad 31 are network and broadcast respectively.

Q:

Given the following network range 192.168.0.0/24. We want minimum 50 hosts on each of the available subnets. What will be the subnet mask?

A) /24 B) /25
C) /26 D) /27
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) /26

Explanation:

Explanation: 50 hosts require 6 bits of the last octet giving us 64 -2 = 62 possible hosts this satisfies our requirement and leaves us 2 bits over for the subnets. The default mask is /24 or 255.255.255.0 adding the 2 bits for the subnets it becomes 255.255.255.192 or /26
