Addressing Exam
1. What is the prefix length notation for the subnet mask 255.255.255.224?
 /25
 /26
 /27
 /28
Explanation: The binary format for 255.255.255.224 is
11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000. The prefix length is the number of
consecutive 1s in the subnet mask. Therefore, the prefix length is /27.
2. How many valid host addresses are available on an IPv4 subnet that is
configured with a /26 mask?
 254
 190
 192
 62
 64
3. Which subnet mask would be used if 5 host bits are available?
 255.255.255.0
 255.255.255.128
 255.255.255.224
 255.255.255.240
4. A network administrator subnets the 192.168.10.0/24 network into
subnets with /26 masks. How many equal-sized subnets are created?
 1
 2
 4
 8
 16
 64
5. Match the subnetwork to a host address that would be included within the
subnetwork. (Not all options are used.)
 6. An administrator wants to create four subnetworks from the network
address 192.168.1.0/24. What is the network address and subnet mask of the
second useable subnet?
 subnetwork 192.168.1.64
subnet mask 255.255.255.192
 subnetwork 192.168.1.32
subnet mask 255.255.255.240
 subnetwork 192.168.1.64
subnet mask 255.255.255.240
 subnetwork 192.168.1.128
subnet mask 255.255.255.192
 subnetwork 192.168.1.8
subnet mask 255.255.255.224
7. How many bits must be borrowed from the host portion of an address to
accommodate a router with five connected networks?
 two
 three
 four
 five
Explanation: Each network that is directly connected to an interface on a router
requires its own subnet. The formula 2n, where n is the number of bits borrowed,
 is used to calculate the available number of subnets when borrowing a specific
number of bits.
8. How many host addresses are available on the 192.168.10.128/26 network?
 30
 32
 60
 62
 64
Explanation: A /26 prefix gives 6 host bits, which provides a total of 64
addresses, because 26 = 64. Subtracting the network and broadcast addresses
leaves 62 usable host addresses.
9. How many host addresses are available on the network 172.16.128.0 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.252.0?
 510
 512
 1022
 1024
 2046
 2048
Explanation: A mask of 255.255.252.0 is equal to a prefix of /22. A /22 prefix
provides 22 bits for the network portion and leaves 10 bits for the host portion.
The 10 bits in the host portion will provide 1022 usable IP addresses (210 – 2 =
1022).
10. Match each IPv4 address to the appropriate address category. (Not all
options are used.)
 11. What three blocks of addresses are defined by RFC 1918 for private
network use? (Choose three.)
 10.0.0.0/8
 172.16.0.0/12
 192.168.0.0/16
 100.64.0.0/14
 169.254.0.0/16
 239.0.0.0/8
Explanation: RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private Internets, defines three
blocks of IPv4 address for private networks that should not be routable on the
public Internet.
 10.0.0.0/8
 172.16.0.0/12
 192.168.0.0/16

12. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator must send a message to everyone on

the router A network. What is the broadcast address for network
172.16.16.0/22?
 172.16.16.255
 172.16.20.255
 172.16.19.255
 172.16.23.255
 172.16.255.255
Explanation: The 172.16.16.0/22 network has 22 bits in the network portion and
10 bits in the host portion. Converting the network address to binary yields a
subnet mask of 255.255.252.0. The range of addresses in this network will end
with the last address available before 172.16.20.0. Valid host addresses for this
network range from 172.16.16.1-172.16.19.254, making 172.16.19.255 the
broadcast address.
13. A site administrator has been told that a particular network at the site
must accommodate 126 hosts. Which subnet mask would be used that
contains the required number of host bits?
 255.255.255.0
 255.255.255.128
 255.255.255.224
 255.255.255.240
Explanation: The subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has 8 host bits. The mask of
255.255.255.128 results in 7 host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.224 has 5 host
bits. Finally, 255.255.255.240 represents 4 host bits.
14. Refer to the exhibit. Considering the addresses already used and having to
remain within the 10.16.10.0/24 network range, which subnet address could
be assigned to the network containing 25 hosts?
 10.16.10.160/26
 10.16.10.128/28
 10.16.10.64/27
 10.16.10.224/26
 10.16.10.240/27
 10.16.10.240/28
Explanation: Addresses 10.16.10.0 through 10.16.10.63 are taken for the
leftmost network. Addresses 10.16.10.192 through 10.16.10.207 are used by the
center network.The address space from 208-255 assumes a /28 mask, which
does not allow enough host bits to accommodate 25 host addresses.The address
ranges that are available include 10.16.10.64/26 and10.16.10.128/26. To
accommodate 25 hosts, 5 host bits are needed, so a /27 mask is necessary.
Four possible /27 subnets could be created from the available addresses
between 10.16.10.64 and 10.16.10.191:
10.16.10.64/27
10.16.10.96/27
10.16.10.128/27
10.16.10.160/27
15. What is the usable number of host IP addresses on a network that has a
/26 mask?
 256
 254
 64
 62
 32
 16
Explanation: A /26 mask is the same as 255.255.255.192. The mask leaves 6
host bits. With 6 host bits, 64 IP addresses are possible. One address represents
the subnet number and one address represents the broadcast address, which
means that 62 addresses can then be used to assign to network devices.
 16. Which address prefix range is reserved for IPv4 multicast?
 240.0.0.0 – 254.255.255.255
 224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255
 169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255
 127.0.0.0 – 127.255.255.255
17. Refer to the exhibit. Match the network with the correct IP address and
prefix that will satisfy the usable host addressing requirements for each
network.
 Explanation: Network A needs to use 192.168.0.128 /25, which yields 128 host
addresses.
Network B needs to use 192.168.0.0 /26, which yields 64 host addresses.
Network C needs to use 192.168.0.96 /27, which yields 32 host addresses.
Network D needs to use 192.168.0.80/30, which yields 4 host addresses.
18. A high school in New York (school A) is using videoconferencing
technology to establish student interactions with another high school (school
B) in Russia. The videoconferencing is conducted between two end devices
through the Internet. The network administrator of school A configures the
end device with the IP address 209.165.201.10. The administrator sends a
request for the IP address for the end device in school B and the response is
192.168.25.10. Neither school is using a VPN. The administrator knows
immediately that this IP will not work. Why?
 This is a loopback address.
 This is a link-local address.
 This is a private IP address.
 There is an IP address conflict.
19. Which three addresses are valid public addresses? (Choose three.)
 198.133.219.17
 192.168.1.245
 10.15.250.5
 128.107.12.117
 172.31.1.25
 64.104.78.227
 Explanation: The ranges of private IPv4 addresses are as folllows:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
20. A message is sent to all hosts on a remote network. Which type of message
is it?
 limited broadcast
 multicast
 directed broadcast
 unicast
Explanation: A directed broadcast is a message sent to all hosts on a specific
network. It is useful for sending a broadcast to all hosts on a nonlocal network. A
multicast message is a message sent to a selected group of hosts that are part of
a subscribing multicast group. A limited broadcast is used for a communication
that is limited to the hosts on the local network. A unicast message is a message
sent from one host to another.
21. A company has a network address of 192.168.1.64 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.192. The company wants to create two subnetworks that would
contain 10 hosts and 18 hosts respectively. Which two networks would
achieve that? (Choose two.)
 192.168.1.16/28
 192.168.1.64/27
 192.168.1.128/27
 192.168.1.96/28
 192.168.1.192/28
22. Which address is a valid IPv6 link-local unicast address?
 FEC8:1::FFFF
 FD80::1:1234
 FE80::1:4545:6578:ABC1
 FE0A::100:7788:998F
 FC90:5678:4251:FFFF
Explanation: IPv6 LLAs are in the fe80::/10 range. The /10 indicates that the first
10 bits are 1111 1110 10xx xxxx. The first hextet has a range of 1111 1110 1000
0000 (fe80) to 1111 1110 1011 1111 (febf).
23. Which of these addresses is the shortest abbreviation for the IP address:
3FFE:1044:0000:0000:00AB:0000:0000:0057?
 3FFE:1044::AB::57
 3FFE:1044::00AB::0057
 3FFE:1044:0:0:AB::57
 3FFE:1044:0:0:00AB::0057
 3FFE:1044:0000:0000:00AB::57
 3FFE:1044:0000:0000:00AB::0057
Explanation: The rules for reducing the notation of IPv6 addresses are:
1. Omit any leading 0s (zeros) in any hextet.
2. Replace any single, contiguous string of one or more 16-bit hextets consisting
of all zeros with a double colon (::) .
3. The double colon (::) can only be used once within an address.
24. A network administrator has received the IPv6 prefix 2001:DB8::/48 for
subnetting. Assuming the administrator does not subnet into the interface ID
portion of the address space, how many subnets can the administrator create
from the /48 prefix?
 16
 256
 4096
 65536
Explanation: With a network prefix of 48, there will be 16 bits available for
subnetting because the interface ID starts at bit 64. Sixteen bits will yield 65536
subnets.
25. Given IPv6 address prefix 2001:db8::/48, what will be the last subnet that
is created if the subnet prefix is changed to /52?
 2001:db8:0:f00::/52
 2001:db8:0:8000::/52
 2001:db8:0:f::/52
 2001:db8:0:f000::/52
Explanation: Prefix 2001:db8::/48 has 48 network bits. If we subnet to a /52, we
are moving the network boundary four bits to the right and creating 16 subnets.
The first subnet is 2001:db8::/52 the last subnet is 2001:db8:0:f000::/52.
26. Consider the following range of addresses:
2001:0DB8:BC15:00A0:0000::
2001:0DB8:BC15:00A1:0000::
2001:0DB8:BC15:00A2:0000::
…
2001:0DB8:BC15:00AF:0000::
The prefix-length for the range of addresses is /60 .
Explanation: All the addresses have the part 2001:0DB8:BC15:00A in common.
Each number or letter in the address represents 4 bits, so the prefix-length is /60.
27. What type of IPv6 address is FE80::1?
 loopback
 link-local
 multicast
 global unicast
 28. Refer to the exhibit. A company is deploying an IPv6 addressing scheme
for its network. The company design document indicates that the subnet
portion of the IPv6 addresses is used for the new hierarchical network design,
with the site subsection to represent multiple geographical sites of the
company, the sub-site section to represent multiple campuses at each site, and
the subnet section to indicate each network segment separated by routers.
With such a scheme, what is the maximum number of subnets achieved per
sub-site?

Refer to the exhibit. A company is deploying an IPv6 addressing scheme for its
network. The company design document indicates that the subnetportion of
the IPv6 addresses is used for the new hierarchical network design, with the s
ite subsection to represent multiple geographical sites of the company, the s
ub-site section to represent multiple campuses at each site, and the s ubnet
section to indicate each network segment separated by routers. With such a
scheme, what is the maximum number of subnets achieved per sub-site ?
 0
 4
 16
 256
Explanation: Because only one hexadecimal character is used to represent the
subnet, that one character can represent 16 different values 0 through F.
29. What is used in the EUI-64 process to create an IPv6 interface ID on an
IPv6 enabled interface?
 the MAC address of the IPv6 enabled interface
 a randomly generated 64-bit hexadecimal address
 an IPv6 address that is provided by a DHCPv6 server
 an IPv4 address that is configured on the interface
Explanation: The EUI-64 process uses the MAC address of an interface to
construct an interface ID (IID). Because the MAC address is only 48 bits in
length, 16 additional bits (FF:FE) must be added to the MAC address to create
the full 64-bit interface ID.
30. What is the prefix for the host address 2001:DB8:BC15:A:12AB::1/64?
 2001:DB8:BC15
 2001:DB8:BC15:A
 2001:DB8:BC15:A:1
 2001:DB8:BC15:A:12
31. An IPv6 enabled device sends a data packet with the destination address of
FF02::1. What is the target of this packet?
 the one IPv6 device on the link that has been uniquely configured with this
address
 all IPv6 enabled devices on the local link or network
 only IPv6 DHCP servers
 only IPv6 configured routers
32. Match the IPv6 address with the IPv6 address type. (Not all options are
used.)

Explanation: FF02::1:FFAE:F85F is a solicited node multicast address.

2001:DB8::BAF:3F57:FE94 is a global unicast address.
FF02::1 is the all node multicast address. Packets sent to this address will be
received by all IPv6 hosts on the local link.
::1 is the IPv6 loopback address.
There are no examples of link local or unique local addresses provided.
 33. Which IPv6 prefix is reserved for communication between devices on the
same link?
 FC00::/7
 2001::/32
 FE80::/10
 FDFF::/7
Explanation: IPv6 link-local unicast addresses are in the FE80::/10 prefix range
and are not routable. They are used only for communications between devices
on the same link.
34. Which type of IPv6 address refers to any unicast address that is assigned
to multiple hosts?
 unique local
 global unicast
 link-local
 anycast
35. What are two types of IPv6 unicast addresses? (Choose two.)
 multicast
 loopback
 link-local
 anycast
 broadcast
Explanation: Multicast, anycast, and unicast are types of IPv6 addresses. There
is no broadcast address in IPv6. Loopback and link-local are specific types of
unicast addresses.
36. Which service provides dynamic global IPv6 addressing to end devices
without using a server that keeps a record of available IPv6 addresses?
 stateful DHCPv6
 SLAAC
 static IPv6 addressing
 stateless DHCPv6
Explanation: Using stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC), a PC can
solicit a router and receive the prefix length of the network. From this information
the PC can then create its own IPv6 global unicast address.
37. Which protocol supports Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) for
dynamic assignment of IPv6 addresses to a host?
 ARPv6
 DHCPv6
 ICMPv6
 UDP
Explanation: SLAAC uses ICMPv6 messages when dynamically assigning an
IPv6 address to a host. DHCPv6 is an alternate method of assigning an IPv6
addresses to a host. ARPv6 does not exist. Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
provides the functionality of ARP for IPv6 networks. UDP is the transport layer
protocol used by DHCPv6.
38. Three methods allow IPv6 and IPv4 to co-exist. Match each method with its
description. (Not all options are used.)

39. A technician uses the ping 127.0.0.1 command. What is the technician
testing?
 the TCP/IP stack on a network host
 connectivity between two adjacent Cisco devices
 connectivity between a PC and the default gateway
 connectivity between two PCs on the same network
 physical connectivity of a particular PC and the network
40. Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is trying to troubleshoot
connectivity between PC1 and PC2 and uses the tracert command from PC1 to
do it. Based on the displayed output, where should the administrator begin
troubleshooting?
 PC2
 R1
 SW2
 R2
 SW1
41. Which protocol is used by the traceroute command to send and receive
echo-requests and echo-replies?
 SNMP
 ICMP
 Telnet
 TCP
Explanation: Traceroute uses the ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) to
send and receive echo-request and echo-reply messages.
42. Which ICMPv6 message is sent when the IPv6 hop limit field of a packet is
decremented to zero and the packet cannot be forwarded?
 network unreachable
 time exceeded
 protocol unreachable
 port unreachable
43. A user executes a traceroute over IPv6. At what point would a router in the
path to the destination device drop the packet?
 when the value of the Hop Limit field reaches 255
 when the value of the Hop Limit field reaches zero
 when the router receives an ICMP time exceeded message
 when the target host responds with an ICMP echo reply message
44. What is the purpose of ICMP messages?
 to inform routers about network topology changes
 to ensure the delivery of an IP packet
 to provide feedback of IP packet transmissions
 to monitor the process of a domain name to IP address resolution
Explanation: The purpose of ICMP messages is to provide feedback about
issues that are related to the processing of IP packets.
45. What source IP address does a router use by default when the traceroute
command is issued?
 the highest configured IP address on the router
 a loopback IP address
 the IP address of the outbound interface
 the lowest configured IP address on the router
Explanation: When sending an echo request message, a router will use the IP
address of the exit interface as the source IP address. This default behavior can
be changed by using an extended ping and specifying a specific source IP
address.
46. Match each description with an appropriate IP address. (Not all options
are used.)
 Explanation: Link-Local addresses are assigned automatically by the OS
environment and are located in the block 169.254.0.0/16. The private addresses
ranges are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. TEST-NET addresses
belong to the range 192.0.2.0/24. The addresses in the block 240.0.0.0 to
255.255.255.254 are reserved as experimental addresses. Loopback addresses
belong to the block 127.0.0.0/8.
47. A user issues a ping 192.135.250.103 command and receives a response
that includes a code of 1. What does this code represent?
 host unreachable
 protocol unreachable
 port unreachable
 network unreachable
48. Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host
address?
 192.168.1.64/26
 192.168.1.32/27
 192.168.1.32/28
 192.168.1.64/29
Explanation: For the subnet of 192.168.1.64/26, there are 6 bits for host
addresses, yielding 64 possible addresses. However, the first and last subnets
are the network and broadcast addresses for this subnet. Therefore, the range of
host addresses for this subnet is 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. The other
subnets do not contain the address 192.168.1.96 as a valid host address.
49. Open the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instructions and
then answer the question.

What are the three IPv6 addresses displayed when the route from PC1 to PC2
is traced? (Choose three.)
 2001:DB8:1:1::1
 2001:DB8:1:1::A
 2001:DB8:1:2::2
 2001:DB8:1:2::1
 2001:DB8:1:3::1
 2001:DB8:1:3::2
 2001:DB8:1:4::1
Explanation: Using the ipv6config command on PC2 displays the IPv6 address
of PC2, which is 2001:DB8:1:4::A. The IPV6 link-local address,
FE80::260:70FF:FE34:6930, is not used in route tracing. Using the tracert
2001:DB8:1:4::A command on PC1 displays four addresses: 2001:DB8:1:1::1,
2001:DB8:1:2::1 , 2001:DB8:1:3::2, and 2001:DB8:1:4::A.
