Chapter 6: Addressing the Network: IPv4
Questions and Answers
- 1.
A network administrator is building a network for a small business that has 22 hosts. The ISP has assigned only one Internet routable IP address. Which IP address block can the network administrator use to address the network?
- A.
10.11.12.16 /28
- B.
172.31.255.128 /27
- C.
192.168.1.0 /28
- D.
209.165.202.128 /27
Correct Answer
B. 172.31.255.128 /27Explanation
The network administrator can use the IP address block 172.31.255.128 /27 to address the network. This block provides a range of IP addresses from 172.31.255.129 to 172.31.255.158, which is sufficient to accommodate the 22 hosts in the small business network. The /27 subnet mask allows for 30 usable host addresses, which is more than enough for the 22 hosts.Rate this question:

What subnet mask would be used with the hosts in the 128.107.176.0 /22 network?
- A.
255.0.0.0
- B.
255.248.0.0
- C.
255.255.252.0
- D.
255.255.255.0
- E.
255.255.255.252
Correct Answer
C. 255.255.252.0Explanation
The given IP address is 128.107.176.0 with a subnet mask of /22. This means that the first 22 bits of the IP address represent the network portion, while the remaining bits represent the host portion. To determine the subnet mask, we need to convert the /22 notation to the corresponding subnet mask. The subnet mask 255.255.252.0 has the first 22 bits set to 1, indicating the network portion, and the remaining bits set to 0, indicating the host portion. Therefore, the subnet mask 255.255.252.0 would be used with the hosts in the 128.107.176.0 /22 network.Rate this question:

In Computer Network, the loopback is also known as __________ ?
- A.
This machine
- B.
Localhost
- C.
This PC
- D.
All of these
Correct Answer
D. All of theseExplanation
The loopback in computer networks refers to a special IP address (127.0.0.1) that is used to test network connectivity on a local machine. It is also known as "localhost" or "this PC". Therefore, all of the given options (this machine, localhost, this PC) are correct terms for referring to the loopback in computer networks.Rate this question:

The unicast addresses assigned to the end devices in the network.
- A.
Network Addresses
- B.
Broadcast Addresses
- C.
Host Addresses
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. Host AddressesExplanation
The correct answer is "Host Addresses." In a network, unicast addresses are assigned to individual end devices such as computers, smartphones, or printers. These addresses are unique and allow for direct communication between specific devices on the network. Network addresses are used to identify the network itself, while broadcast addresses are used to send data to all devices on the network. Therefore, the unicast addresses assigned to end devices are referred to as host addresses.Rate this question:

A special address used to send data to all hosts in the network
- A.
Host Address
- B.
Broadcast Address
- C.
Network Address
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
B. Broadcast AddressExplanation
A broadcast address is a special address used to send data to all hosts in the network. When a device sends data to the broadcast address, it is received by all devices connected to that network. This is useful for sending information that needs to reach all hosts, such as network announcements or updates. The broadcast address is different from a host address, which is used to identify a specific device, and a network address, which is used to identify the network itself.Rate this question:

In network communication, it is process of sending a packet from one host to an individual host
- A.
Unicast
- B.
Multicast
- C.
Broadcast
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. UnicastExplanation
Unicast refers to the process of sending a packet from one host to an individual host in network communication. This means that the packet is specifically addressed to a single recipient, ensuring that it reaches only that intended host. Unlike multicast, where a packet is sent to a group of hosts, and broadcast, where a packet is sent to all hosts on a network, unicast is a one-to-one communication method.Rate this question:

In network communication, it is the process of sending a packet from one host to a selected group of hosts.
- A.
Unicast
- B.
Multicast
- C.
Broadcast
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. MulticastExplanation
Multicast is the correct answer because it refers to the process of sending a packet from one host to a selected group of hosts in network communication. Unlike unicast, which sends a packet to a single host, multicast allows for efficient communication to multiple hosts simultaneously. Broadcast, on the other hand, sends a packet to all hosts on the network, while "None of these" is not applicable in this context.Rate this question:

LEGACY IPv4 Addressing: Identify the IPv4 class - 125.45.82.7
- A.
Class A
- B.
Class B
- C.
Class C
- D.
Invalid IPv4 Class
Correct Answer
A. Class AExplanation
The given IPv4 address, 125.45.82.7, falls within the range of Class A addresses. In Class A, the first octet is reserved for the network portion, and the remaining three octets are used for host addresses. The range of Class A addresses is from 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255, and the given address falls within this range. Therefore, it is classified as Class A.Rate this question:

127.0.0.1 is also called as "this computer".
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The IP address 127.0.0.1 is commonly referred to as "this computer" because it is the loopback address. This address is used to test network connections on the local machine. When a program sends data to this address, it is looped back to the same machine without actually being sent over the network. Therefore, "this computer" is a fitting term for 127.0.0.1.Rate this question:
