Explanation: The requirement of having to allocate 500 hosts on each subnet can be achieved by the following: 2^9 = 512. So deducting the broadcast and network address we have 510 possible hosts on each subnet. We used 9 bits to allocate the hosts, this leaves us 7 bits for possible subnets. Those 7 bits in binary is 1111 1110 or 254 in decimal.

Explanation: The switchport access vlan [number] command will configure a switch port to that VLAN. You can also use the switchport access vlan dynamic command to configure the switch port automatically in a certain VLAN depending on the VLAN membership of the incoming packets. For both commands to work properly the switch port needs to be in access mode

FF02:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:130F:0005

Convert to dotted hexadecimal first, and then convert each hexadecimal number pair to decimal.

A2.F5.9D.8B then 162.245.157.139

Answer : A C D

Explanation: If you follow the cram table,  /27 is mask 255.255.255.224. 3 bits were borrowed with value of 32. Follow the fourth octets of the addresses:
A is a usable host address.
B is classified as a network address
C is a usable host address form the subnet 0
D is a usable host address
E is a network address
F is a broadcast address

Answer and Explanation:

Because the destination address is on a different subnet from the switch, the packet will be forwarded to its default gateway. To verify the default gateway of this switch, use the show running-config command

From the output above, we can see that its default-gateway is 192.168.1.254. Which can be said to be a layer 3 device (router); in this case, the VLAN-R1 router. You can use the show cdp neighbor detail command verify further.

From the output above, you can confirm that the switch's default gateway is VLAN-R1 router (with the IP address of 192.168.1.254).The interface FastEthernet0/3 shows that the switch is directly connected to VLAN-R1 router through the switchport Fa0/3. To verify the MAC address associated this interface is interface, you use the show mac-address-table command:

Looking closely at the table above, you will discorver that the corresponding MAC address is 000a.b7e9.8360. Although there are some entries on port Fa0/3 with different Vlans ,but they have the same MAC address.

Answer: B  C  D
