Refer to the exhibit. In this VLSM addressing scheme, what summary address would be sent from router A?
- A.
172.16.0.0/16
- B.
172.16.0.0/20
- C.
172.16.0.0/24
- D.
172.32.0.0/16
Correct Answer
A. 172.16.0.0/16Explanation
Router A receives 3 subnets: 172.16.64.0/18, 172.16.32.0/24 and 172.16.128.0/18.
All these 3 subnets have the same form of 172.16.x.x so our summarized subnet must be also in that form -> Only A, B or C is correct.
The smallest subnet mask of these 3 subnets is /18 so our summarized subnet must also have its subnet mask equal or smaller than /18.
-> Only answer A has these 2 conditions -> A is correct.Rate this question:

Refer to the diagram. All hosts have connectivity with one another. Which statements describe the addressing scheme that is in use in the network? (Choose three)
- A.
The subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.192.
- B.
The LAN interface of the router is configured with one IP address.
- C.
The subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.128.
- D.
The IP address 172.16.1.25 can be assigned to hosts in VLAN1.
- E.
The LAN interface of the router is configured with multiple IP addresses.
Correct Answer(s)
C. The subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.128.
D. The IP address 172.16.1.25 can be assigned to hosts in VLAN1.
E. The LAN interface of the router is configured with multiple IP addresses.Explanation
VLAN 2 has 114 hosts so we need to leave 7 bits 0 for the host addresses (27 – 2 = 126 > 114). Notice that we are working with class B (both Host A and Host B belong to class B) and the default subnet mask of class B is /16 so we need to use 16 – 7 = 9 bits 1 for the sub-network mask, that means the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.128 -> B is correct.
By using above scheme, C is correct because the IP 172.16.1.25 belongs to the sub-network of VLAN 1 (172.16.1.0/25) and can be assigned to hosts in VLAN 1.
For communication between VLAN 1 and VLAN 2, the LAN interface of the router should be divided into multiple sub-interfaces with multiple IP addresses -> F is correct.Rate this question:
