a/14

b/15

c/ 16

d/30

e/ 31

f/ 62
A

You have a Class A host of 10.0.0.110/25. It needs to communicate to a host with an IP address of 10.0.0.210/25. Which of the following devices do you need to use in order for these hosts to communicate?

   a/ Layer 2 switch

    b/ Router

    c/ DNS server

   d/ Hub
A

2

b/ Router What is your subnet mask? 255.255.255.128. Regardless of the class of address, this is a block size of 128 in the fourth octet. 
You need a router for these two hosts to communicate because they are in different subnets.

What is the subnet work address for a host with the IP address 200.10.5.68/28?

a/ 200.10.5.56

b/ 00.10.5.32

c/ 200.10.5.64

d/ 200.10.5.0
A

3

c/ This is a pretty simple question. A /28 is 255.255.255.240, which means that our block size is 16 in the fourth octet (0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, and so on). The host is in the 64 subnet.

The network address of 172.16.0.0/19 provides how many subnets and hosts?

a/7 subnets, 30 hosts each

b/7 subnets, 2,046 hosts each

c/ 7 subnets, 8,190 hosts each

d/ 8 subnets, 30 hosts each

e/ 8 subnets, 2,046 hosts each

f/ 8 subnets, 8,190 hosts each

A

4

f/ A CIDR address of /19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so that is only 3 subnet bits, but it provides 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8,190 hosts.

You cannot get on the Internet. You have them verify their IP address, mask, and default gateway. The IP address is 10.0.37.144, with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. The default gateway is 10.0.38.1.

a/ Incorrect DNS server address

b/ Invalid subnet mask

c/ Incorrect gateway IP

d/ IP address and mask not compatible

A

5

C. The host ID of 10.0.37.144 with a 255.255.254.0 mask is in the 10.0.36.0 subnet

If a host on a network has the address 172.16.45.14/30, what is the subnet work this host belongs to?

a/ 172.16.45.0

b/ 172.16.45.4

c/ 172.16.45.8

d/ 172.16.45.12

f/ 172.16.45.16

A

6

Answer:

d/ A /30, regardless of the class of address, has a 252 in the fourth octet. This means we have a block size of 4 and our subnets are 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on. Address 14 is obviously in the 12 subnet.

On a network, which mask should you use on point-to-point WAN links in order to reduce the waste of IP addresses?

a/ /27

b/ /28

c/ /29

d/ /30

e/ /31

When configuring the IP settings on a computer on one subnet to ensure that it can communicate with a computer on another subnet, which of the following is desirable?

a/ Configure the computer with the same default gateway as the other computer.

b/ Configure the computer with the same subnet mask as the other computer.

c/ Configure the computer with a default gateway that matches the IP address of the interface of the router that is attached to the same subnet as the computer.

d/ Configure the computer with a subnet mask that matches the IP address of the interface of the router that is attached to the same subnet as the computer.

A

10

a/ A computer should be configured with an IP address that is unique throughout the reachable internet work.

You have an interface on a router with the IP address of 192.168.192.10/29. What is the broadcast address the hosts will use on this LAN?

a/ 192.168.192.15

b/ 192.168.192.31

c/ 192.168.192.63

d/ 192.168.192.127

e/ 192.168.192.255
A

11

a/ A /29 (255.255.255.248) has a block size of 8 in the fourth octet. This means the subnets are 0, 8, 16, 24, and so on. 10 is in the 8 subnet. The next subnet is 16, so 15 is the broadcast address.

Connecting two hosts directly through their interfaces What can be done to provide connectivity between the hosts?

a/ A crossover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.

b/ A rollover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.

c/ The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.192.

d/ A default gateway needs to be set on each host.

e/ The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.0.

A

13

a/e. You need a crossover cable.
and set both masks to 255.255.255.0 (/24).

A

15

e/ A Class B network ID with a /22 mask is 255.255.252.0, with a block size of 4 in the third octet.

The network address in the question is in subnet 172.16.16.0 with a broadcast address of 172.16.19.255. Only option E has the correct subnet mask listed, and 172.16.18.255 is a valid host.

Your router has the following IP address on Ethernet0: 172.16.2.1/23. Which of the following can be valid host IDs on the LAN interface attached to the router? (Choose two.)

a/ 172.16.0.5

b/ 172.16.1.100

c/ 172.16.1.198

d/ 172.16.2.255

e/ 172.16.3.0

f/ 172.16.3.255
A

16

d/ e/ . The router’s IP address on the E0 interface is 172.16.2.1/23, which is a 255.255.254.0.

This makes the third octet a block size of 2. The router’s interface is in the 2.0 subnet, and the broadcast address is 3.255 because the next subnet is 4.0. The valid host range is 2.1 through 3.254. The router is using the first valid host address in the range.

You have one IP address provided from your ISP with a /30 mask. However, you have 300 users that need to access the Internet. What technology will you use to implement a solution?

a/ PAT

b/ VPN

c/ DNS

d/ LANs
A
