1. Given the address 192.168.10.

19/28, which of the following are valid host addresses on this


subnet? (Choose two)
A 192.168.10.29
B 192.168.10.16
C 192.168.10.17
D 192.168.10.31
E 192.168.10.0
Answer: A C
Explanation:
192.168.10.19/28 belongs to 192.168.10.16 network with mask of 255.255.255.240. This offers
14 usable IP address range from 192.168.10.17 30
2. You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. Which subnet
mask would you use?
A. 255.255.255.192
B. 255.255.255.224
C. 255.255.255.240
D. 255.255.255.248
Answer: B
Explanation:
You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets
with 14 hosts-this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30
hosts. This is the best answer.
3. Given a Host Address = 192.168.150.200/27. Calculate the Network Address, the broadcast
address and the host range.
Answer:
Host IP in Binary
Subnet Mask in Binary
Subnet Mask in Dec
Network addr. in Binary
Network addr. in Decimal
Broadcast addr. in Bin
Broadcast addr. in Dec

Host bits = 5. So 25 2 = 30 host IP addresses.


Host range = 192.168.150.193 192.168.150.222

4. What is the last valid host on the subnetwork 192.168.236.0/26?


Answer: 192.168.236.62 (Last usable IP address before the broadcast IP address).
Host IP in Binary
Subnet Mask in Binary
Subnet Mask in Dec
Network addr. in Binary
Network addr. in Decimal
Broadcast addr. in Bin
Broadcast addr. in Dec
Last usable IP addr.
before broadcast IP addr.

5. A lab has been assigned the Class B network address 165.87.0.0. The lab administrator needs to divide
the network into 8 subnets. What subnet mask should be applied to the network to provide the most
hosts per subnet?
A 255.255.192.0
B 255.255.224.0
C 255.255.240.0
D 255.255.248.0

Answer: C
2n 2 = 8
2n = 10
n = 4 subnet bits
255.255.192.0
255.255.224.0
255.255.240.0

6. The network address of 172.16.0.0/19 provides how many subnets and hosts?
A 7 subnets, 30 hosts each
B 8 subnets, 8,190 hosts each
C 8 subnets, 2,046 hosts each
D 7 subnets, 2,046 hosts each
Answer: B
Explanation:
The subnet mask /19 is 255.255.224.0 in decimal notation. 172.16.0.0 is a Class B address, so 3
bits have been taken to the network portion, and 13 bits have remained in the host portion. This
means
23 = 8 subnets
213 2 = 8190 hosts per network
