Q

Refer to the exhibit. Consider the IP address of 192.168.10.0/24 that has been assigned to a high school building. The largest network in this building has 100 devices. If 192.168.10.0 is the network number for the largest network, what would be the network number for the next largest network, which has 40 devices?

  • 192.168.10.0
  • 192.168.10.128
  • 192.168.10.192
  • 192.168.10.224
  • 192.168.10.240
A

192.168.10.128
