Here you will find answers to Subnetting Questions – Part 2

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. Which VLSM mask will allow for the appropriate number of host addresses for Network A?

A. /25
B. /26
C. /27
D. /28


Answer: A

Explanation

We need 66 hosts < 128 = 27 -> We need 7 bits 0 -> The subnet mask should be 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1111.1000 0000 -> /25

Question 2

Refer to the exhibit. Which subnet mask will place all hosts on Network B in the same subnet with the least amount of wasted addresses?

A. 255.255.255.0
B. 255.255.254.0
C. 255.255.252.0
D. 255.255.248.0


Answer: B

Explanation

310 hosts < 512 = 29 -> We need a subnet mask of 9 bits 0 -> 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111 1110.0000 0000 -> 255.255.254.0

Question 3

Refer to the exhibit. Which mask is correct to use for the WAN link between the routers that will provide connectivity while wasting the least amount of addresses?

subnetting_wan.jpg

A. /23
B. /24
C. /25
D. /30


Answer: D

Explanation

For WAN link we only need 2 usable host addresses for 2 interfaces on the routers. The subnet mask of /30 gives us 22 – 2 = 2 usable host addresses. Also remember that “/30″ is famous for point-to-point connection because it wastes the least amount of addresses.

Question 4

Refer to the exhibit. What is the most appropriate summarization for these routes?

subnetting_summarize.jpg

A. 10.0.0.0/21
B. 10.0.0.0/22
C. 10.0.0.0/23
D. 10.0.0.0/24


Answer: B

Explanation

We need to summarize 4 subnets so we have to move left 2 bits (22 = 4). In this question we can guess the initial subnet mask is /24 because 10.0.0.0, 10.0.1.0, 10.0.2.0, 10.0.3.0 belong to different networks. So “/24″ moves left 2 bits -> /22.

Question 5

On the network 131.1.123.0/27, what is the last IP address that can be assigned to a host?

A. 131.1.123.30
B. 131.1.123.31
C. 131.1.123.32
D. 131.1.123.33


Answer: A

Explanation

Increment: 32
Network address: 131.1.123.0 & 131.1.123.32
Broadcast address: 131.1.123.31

Both 131.1.123.30 & 131.1.123.33 can be assigned to host but the question asks about the “last IP address” so A is the correct answer.

Question 6

The ip subnet zero command is not configured on a router. What would be the IP address of Ethernet0/0 using the first available address from the sixth subnet of the network 192.168.8.0/29?

A. 192.168.8.25
B. 192.168.8.41
C. 192.168.8.49
D. 192.168.8.113


Answer: C

Explanation

The “ip subnet zero” is not configured so the first subnet will start at 192.168.8.8 (ignoring 192.168.8.0).

Increment: 8
1st subnet: 192.168.8.8
2nd subnet: 192.168.8.16
3rd subnet: 192.168.8.24
4th subnet: 192.168.8.32
5th subnet: 192.168.8.40
6th subnet: 192.168.8.48 -> The first usable IP address of 6th subnet is 192.168.8.49

Question 7

For the network 192.0.2.0/23, which option is a valid IP address that can be assigned to a host?

A. 192.0.2.0
B. 192.0.2.255
C. 192.0.3.255
D. 192.0.4.0


Answer: B

Explanation

Increment: 2

Network address: 192.0.2.0, 192.0.4.0
Broadcast address: 192.0.3.255

-> 192.0.2.255 is not a broadcast address, it is an usable IP address.

Question 8

How many addresses for hosts will the network 124.12.4.0/22 provide?

A. 510
B. 1022
C. 1024
D. 2048


Answer: B

Explanation

/22 gives us 10 bits 0 -> 210 – 2 = 1022. Notice that the formula to calculate the number of host is: 2k – 2.

Question 9

The network default gateway applying to a host by DHCP is 192.168.5.33/28. Which option is the valid IP address of this host?

A. 192.168.5.55
B. 192.168.5.47
C. 192.168.5.40
D. 192.168.5.32
E. 192.168.5.14


Answer: C

Question 10

Which two addresses can be assigned to a host with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0? (Choose two)

A. 113.10.4.0
B. 186.54.3.0
C. 175.33.3.255
D. 26.35.2.255
E. 17.35.36.0


Answer: B D

    @Vijay Kumar
    host add is 192.168.5.33/28. therefore subnet range is 192.168.5.32-47.
    32 is the network id (cannot be assigned to host) and 47 is broadcast (cannot be assigned to host) only answer C (192.168.5.40) is the valid host ID. Rest are from other subnets.

    @vola
    Given the subnet mask, you will have /23 and block size of 2.

    /23 belongs to 3rd octet. Paying attention to the 3rd octet.. Network addresses are as follows with their valid host addresses.

    .0 (0.1 – 1.254)
    .2 2.1 – 3.254
    .4. 4.1 – 5.254
    .
    .
    .
    .36 36.1 – 37.254

    First and last cannot be used since those are network and broadcast address.

    So only valid hosts are B and D

    question 7
    255.255.254.0 which is 11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000
    network bit =23 host bit = 9
    no of hosts (2^9)=512
    if you make the subnet table
    subnet or network ips are ends with 0.0 , 2.0, 4.0, 6.0,….
    broadcast ips ends with 1.255, 3.255, 5.255, 7.255….
    so A C E are can’t be hosts
    only B D are the hosts

    Can somebody please explain the question number 10. I reckon the answer provided is more or less incorrect.

  19. san

    The answer for question 10 must be C and D

  20. Anonymous
    December 9th, 2012

    San the answers are B, D:
    You have to remember this:

    128, 64,32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1

    11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000

    11111110 = there are 7 One’s which stop at the 2 bit. See Below:

    128, 64,32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 series
    1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0

    so your multiples are:

    0 – 2 = 1 – 2.254

    2 – 4 = 2.1 – 3.254

    4 – 6 = 4.1 – 5.254

    etc.

    Question 10

    Which two addresses can be assigned to a host with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0? (Choose two)

    A. 113.10.4.0
    B. 186.54.3.0
    C. 175.33.3.255
    D. 26.35.2.255
    E. 17.35.36.0

    Answer: B D

    How many subnets and hosts per subnet can you get from the network 172.28.0.0 255.255.240.0?

    Answer: 16 subnets and 4094 hosts
    EXplain how

  29. Renolph
    January 10th, 2013

    here is all vbout reverse engineering,this is a classB address,convert 255.255.240.0=11111111.1111111.11110000.00000000 if we save the host then we have 12 zeros 2 pow 12=4096 minus 2=4094 and the networ portion in third octed is 4 ones 2 power 4= 16

    Hi ,
    in your 6th question you miss the subnet from 192.168.8.0 – 192.168.8.7 which is the 1st subnet. so answer will be ” B ”
    please explain if i’m wrong.

  33. Andy
    January 25th, 2013

    Balaji,

    No “subnet Zero” means ignore first subnet

    .0, .8, .16, .24, .32, .40, (.48,) .56, .64
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    Hello friends,

    Pls explain quesion 10. How can two addresses can be assigned to a host with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0.

    Question 10

    Subnet mask is 255.255.254.0..It meanz that we have 9 host bits => 512 hosts per subnet.
    So
    A) 113.10.4.0
    network ip = 113.10.0.0 , 113.10.2.0 , 113.10.4.0 and so on
    Broadcast ip = 113.10.1.255 , 113.10.3.255 , 113.10.5.255 and so on
    So Option A is Wrong bcz it is network ip

    B) 186.54.3.0
    n/w ip = 186.54.0.0 , 186.54.2.0 , 186.54.4.0 and so on
    B/c ip = 186.54.1.255 , 186.54.3.255 , 186.54.5.255 and so on
    So Option B is Correct bcz it is neither n/w ip nor b/c ip

    C) 175.33.3.255
    n/w ip = 175.33.0.0 , 175.33.2.0 , 175.33.4.0 and so on
    b/c ip = 175.33.1.255 , 175.33.3.255 , 175.33.5.255 and so on
    So C is wrong

    D) 26.35.2.255
    n/w ip = 26.35.0.0 , 26.35.2.0 , 26.35.4.0 and so on
    b/c ip = 26.35.1.255 , 26.35.3.255 , 26.35.5.255 and so on
    So D is correct
    Similarly for E which is n/w ip and wrong.

    Could anybody please send me the latest dumps on gauriwalinjkar@gmail.com

  41. Gauri
    February 17th, 2013

    Could anybody explain question 9 please.
    The network default address is 192.168.5.33/28, so hence 5.0,5.8,5.16,5.24,5.32,5.40,5.48,5.56 will be the address assigned to subnets and 5.7, 5.15, 5.23, 5.31, 5.39, 5.47, 5.55 will be their coreesponding broadcast address.
    So a valid IP address will be in the range 192.168.5.32-5.39, which is not given in the options.

    Could anyone explain if I am missing any point here. How is the answer C ?

  42. nasir
    February 19th, 2013

    @Gauri /28 mean increment of 16 not 8 valid networks will be 5.16,5.32,5.48…so on
    accordingly the valid ip address are 5.33-5.46 (5.33 already in use by DHCP server and 5.47 is the broadcast address of this range) so 5.40 is correct choice..
