    Subnet the IP Address 203.10.93.0 /24 into 30 Subnets.  Is 203.10.93.30 a valid Host ID after subnetting?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    To subnet a /24 network into 30 subnets, we need to borrow 5 bits from the host portion, giving us a new subnet mask of /29 (255.255.255.248). Each /29 subnet will have 8 IP addresses (6 usable host addresses after excluding the network and broadcast addresses).
    Let's consider the first few subnets:
    203.10.93.0/29: Host range 203.10.93.1 - 203.10.93.6
    203.10.93.8/29: Host range 203.10.93.9 - 203.10.93.14
    203.10.93.16/29: Host range 203.10.93.17 - 203.10.93.22
    203.10.93.24/29: Host range 203.10.93.25 - 203.10.93.30
    In this subnetting scheme, 203.10.93.30 is the broadcast address for the subnet 203.10.93.24/29, making it not a valid host address.

  • 3. 

    Your company wants to utilize the private Class C IP Address of 192.168.1.0.  You are tasked with Subnetting the Address to get the most networks with at least 30 Hosts per Subnet. How many Networks will be created after you subnet?  Also, what is the first usable IP Address in the Second Network range?

    • 8 Networks, First usable from second Network range = 192.168.1.33

    • 3 Networks, First usable from second Network range = 192.168.2.33

    • 5 Networks, First usable from second Network range = 192.168.1.1

    • 8 Networks, First usable from second Network range = 192.168.1.1

    Correct Answer
    A. 8 Networks, First usable from second Network range = 192.168.1.33
    Explanation
    192.168.1.0 Need 30 Hosts per Network

    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

    0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 = 30 in binary
    Need to save 5 bits for # of Hosts

    New Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.11100000 (224) or /27
    ^ Increment = 32

    2^3 = # of Networks = 8
    2^5-2 = # of Hosts per Network = 30

    First 5 IP Ranges
    192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.31

    Refer to the exhibit. In this VLSM addressing scheme, what summary address would be sent from router A? - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. In this VLSM addressing scheme, what summary address would be sent from router A?

    • 172.16.0.0/16

    • 172.16.0.0/20

    • 172.16.0.0/24

    • 172.32.0.0/16

    Correct Answer
    A. 172.16.0.0/16
    Explanation
    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.

    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)

    • The subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.192.

    • The LAN interface of the router is configured with one IP address.

    • The subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.128.

    • The IP address 172.16.1.25 can be assigned to hosts in VLAN1.

    • The LAN interface of the router is configured with multiple IP addresses.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The subnet mask in use is 255.255.255.128.
    A. The IP address 172.16.1.25 can be assigned to hosts in VLAN1.
    A. 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.
