    What mechanism is used to designate a part of an IP address as the network address, and other parts as the host address?

    • Network

    • IPv6

    • Subnet Mask

    • Host

    Correct Answer
    A. Subnet Mask
    Explanation
    A subnet mask is used to designate a part of an IP address as the network address and other parts as the host address. The subnet mask is a 32-bit value that is used to divide an IP address into two parts: the network address and the host address. It works by comparing each bit of the IP address with the corresponding bit in the subnet mask. If the bit in the subnet mask is set to 1, that part of the IP address is designated as the network address. If the bit in the subnet mask is set to 0, that part of the IP address is designated as the host address.
