Q

By borrowing three host bits, how many subnets are created?

A. 10

B. 8

C. 16

D. 32

A

B. 8

The correct answer is “8.” To determine how many subnets are created by borrowing a given number of bits, count the bits by powers of two. Starting with the far-left bit, begin with 2 (21) and increase by powers of two. Borrowing one host bit enables you to create 2 subnets, borrowing 2 bits gives you 4 subnets, and borrowing 3 bits give you 8 subnets.

Q

You have been assigned a /24 network address. A coworker has requested that you create 10 subnets that can support 10 hosts per network. Which subnet mask should you use?

A. 255.255.255.0

B. 255.255.255.224

C. 255.255.255.240

D. 255.255.255.248

A

C. 255.255.255.240

The correct answer is “255.255.255.240.” To create 10 subnets, you had to borrow four 4 bits from the fourth octet. The sum of the values of those bits is 240, so you must use the subnet mask 255.255.255.240.

Q

You have subnetted your 192.168.36.0 network address with a 255.255.255.224 mask. How many subnets are available?

A. 16

B. 8

C. 10

D. 32

A

B. 8

The correct answer is “8.” There are 8 usable subnets and 30 hosts per subnet. The value of 224 in the subnet mask tells you that three host bits were borrowed from the fourth octet for subnetting. To determine how many subnets are created by borrowing 3 bits, count the bits by powers of two, starting with the far-left bit. Begin with 2 and increase by powers of two. To determine how many valid host addresses are available, count the five remaining host bits by powers of two, starting with the far-right bit. Begin with 2 and increase by powers of two, then subtract two.

Q

You have been assigned the network 172.16.0.0/16. You need to establish 13 subnets. What is the new subnet mask in the decimal form?

A. 255.255.240.0

B. 255.255.248.0

C. 255.255.224.0

D. 255.255.252.0

A

A. 255.255.240.0

The correct answer is “255.255.240.0.” To get 13 subnets, you must borrow 4 host bits from the third octet. If you add the values of those 4 bits, you get the decimal number 240, so the new subnet mask is 255.255.240.0.

Q

A large company has a /8 network but needs to subnet it into 1000 subnets. Which subnet mask segments the /8 network and provides the maximum number of hosts per subnet?

A. 255.255.240.0.

B. 255.255.224.0.

C. 255.255.128.0.

D. 255.255.192.0.

A

D. 255.255.192.0.

The correct answer is “255.255.192.0.” To subnet a /8 network, you must begin borrowing host bits from the second octet. To determine how many bits to borrow to create 1000 subnets, count the bits by powers of two, starting with the far-left bit. Begin with 2 and increase by powers of two. Borrowing one host bit enables you to create two subnets, borrowing 2 bits gives you four subnets, and so on. You will discover that borrowing all the bits from the second octet and 2 bits from the third octet creates 1024 subnets. If you add the values of all 8 bits in the second octet, you get 255, so the subnet mask for that octet is 255. If you add the values of the 2 bits that you borrowed in the third octet, you get 192. Therefore, the subnet mask that segments the /8 network and provides the maximum number of hosts per subnet is 255.255.192.0.

Q

Which subnet mask would limit the number of hosts on any given subnet to 2046?

A. 255.248.0.0

B. 255.255.240.0

C. 255.255.248.0

D. 255.255.252.0

A

C. 255.255.248.0

The correct answer is “255.255.248.0.” Counting host bits by powers of two from right to left indicates that 11 bits are needed to allow for 2046 hosts per subnet (211 = 2048; 2048 – 2 = 2046). Using 11 bits for host addresses means that the first 21 bits of the 32-bit subnet mask are turned on. This way, the subnet mask is 11111111.11111111.11111000.00000000, or 255.255.248.0. The subnet masks 255.248.0.0 and 255.255.240.0 also allow 2046 hosts per subnet, but only the 255.255.248.0 mask limits the number of hosts per subnet to 2046.

Q

How many subnets and how many host addresses per subnet are created by borrowing 8 bits from a 172.16.0.0/16 network?

A. 255 subnets with 126 host addresses per subnet

B. 256 subnets with 254 host addresses per subnet

C. 128 subnets with 126 host addresses per subnet

D. 126 subnets with 512 host addresses per subnet

A

B. 256 subnets with 254 host addresses per subnet

19
Q

How many valid host addresses are available for each subnet after subnetting network 172.16.0.0/16 by borrowing two host bits?

A. 62

B. 4094

C. 8190

D. 16382

A

D. 16382

The correct answer is “16382.” Borrowing two host bits from the third octet for subnetting leaves the right-most 14 bits for host addresses. To determine how many valid host addresses are available, count the 14 host bits by powers of two, starting with the far-right bit. Begin with 2 and increase by powers of two, then subtract two.

20
Q

You have been assigned the network address 192.168.7.0/24. You assume that you need to establish 13 subnets, so you apply the subnet mask 255.255.255.240. What will be your second subnet address?

A. 192.168.7.8

B. 192.168.7.16

C. 192.168.16.0

D. 192.168.8.0

A

B. 192.168.7.16

The correct answer is “192.168.7.16.” To answer this question, remember that the first 24 bits of the address are already designated as network bits before subnetting. Therefore, the octets 192.168.7 will not change during subnetting. The first subnet is the 192.168.7.0 subnet, and because the value of the last bit borrowed for subnetting is 16 (as shown in the figure), you should increment by 16 to create each subsequent subnet address. That makes the second subnet address 192.168.7.16.

21
Q

You want to subnet your 10.0.0.0/8 network to create 31 subnets. You determine that you need to apply the subnet mask 255.248.0.0. What is the range of available host addresses for the first subnet?

A. 10.0.0.1 to 10.16.0.254

B. 10.0.0.1 to 10.16.255.254

C. 10.0.0.1 to 10.7.255.254

D. 10.0.0.1 to 10.7.255.255

A

C. 10.0.0.1 to 10.7.255.254

The correct answer is “10.0.0.1 to 10.7.255.254.” Two pieces of information in the question tell you that five host bits have been borrowed for subnetting. First, the creation of 31 subnets requires 5 host bits, and second, the value of 248 in the second octet of the subnet mask indicates that 5 host bits have been borrowed. That means that the value of the last bit borrowed is 8. Therefore, the second subnet would be 10.8.0.0, making the valid host range for the first subnet 10.0.0.1 to 10.7.255.254. The address 10.7.255.255 could not be used as a host address because it is the broadcast address for the first subnet.

22
Q

Which of these addresses is the assigned subnet address for the host address 192.168.3.50/27?

A. 192.168.3.0

B. 192.168.3.24

C. 192.168.3.32

D. 192.168.3.41

A

C. 192.168.3.32

The correct answer is “192.168.3.32.” The 27-bit subnet mask means that three host bits have been borrowed from the last octet for subnetting. Therefore, the value of the last borrowed bit is 32. So, you get the following subnets: 192.168.3.0, 192.168.3.32, 192.168.3.64, and so on. The host address 192.168.3.50 falls within the 192.168.3.32 subnet.

23
Q

You are designing an IPv4 addressing scheme for a branch office. The branch office is assigned to the 192.168.1.64/26 subnetwork, so you have one subnet (192.168.1.64) with 62 host addresses that are available to you. You need at least 4 subnets with 14 hosts each. Which subnet mask should you use to achieve the desired scheme?

A. 255.255.255.240

B. 255.255.255.128

C. 255.255.255.192

D. 255.255.255.224

A

A. 255.255.255.240

The correct answer is “255.255.255.240.” You currently have a 26-bit subnet mask, 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000. To obtain 4 subnets of 14 hosts each on your subnet, you need to apply VLSM (further subnet your subnet). To do so, continue borrowing host bits from the fourth octet, as was done in the original subnetting. Borrowing 2 additional host bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000) creates the 4 subnets that you need and allows for 14 hosts per subnet. The binary subnet mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 translates to 255.255.255.240 in decimal.

Q

You are designing an IPv4 addressing scheme for a branch office. The branch office is assigned to the 172.16.32.0/25 subnetwork, so you have one subnet (172.16.32.0) with 126 host addresses that are available to you. However, from your design branch office topology you can see that the largest LAN will only require 11 host addresses. If you want to avoid wasting address space and allocate addresses efficiently you will need to subnet your subnetwork further, which means applying the VLSM. Which subnet mask should you use to achieve the desired scheme?
