Calculate the maximum number of host IP addresses that can be obtained from the network address 192.168.30.0/24.
Explanation
The given network address is in the form of 192.168.30.0/24, where /24 represents the subnet mask. In this case, the subnet mask is 24 bits, which means that the first 24 bits of the IP address are used to identify the network, and the remaining 8 bits are available for host addresses. Since there are 8 bits available for host addresses, the maximum number of host IP addresses that can be obtained is 2^8 - 2, where 2^8 represents the total number of possible combinations of 8 bits (256), and 2 is subtracted to account for the network address and the broadcast address. Therefore, the maximum number of host IP addresses that can be obtained is 254.Rate this question:

-
1
-
2
-
3
-
4
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The network address 192.168.1.0/24 has a subnet mask of 24 bits, which means it has 256 available IP addresses. However, each subnet must support at least 75 hosts, so we need to find the number of subnets that can accommodate at least 75 hosts. The closest power of 2 that is greater than or equal to 75 is 128, which requires 7 bits. Therefore, we can borrow 7 bits from the host portion of the IP address to create subnets. By doing so, we will have 2 subnets: one subnet with the network address 192.168.1.0/25 and another subnet with the network address 192.168.1.128/25.Rate this question:
