2. 255.255.255.224
3. 255.255.255.240

13. You configure a router interface with the IP address 192.168.10.62 255.255.255.192 and receive the
following error:
Bad mask /26 for address 192.168.10.62
1. Why did you receive this error?
2. You typed this mask on a WAN link and that is not allowed.
3. This is not a valid host and subnet mask combination.
4. ip subnet-zero is not enabled on the router.
5. The router does not support IP.
14. If an Ethernet port on a router were assigned an IP address of 172.16.112.1/25, what would be the valid
subnet address of this interface?
1. 172.16.112.0

15. Using the following illustration, what would be the IP address of E0 if you were using the eighth subnet?
The network ID is 192.168.10.0/28 and you need to use the last available IP address in the range. The zero
subnet should not be considered valid for this question.
1. 192.168.10.142
2. 192.168.10.66
3. 192.168.100.254

first subnet? The network ID is 192.168.10.0/28 and you need to use the last available IP address in the
range. Again, the zero subnet should not be considered valid for this question.
1. 192.168.10.24

3. 192.168.10.30
4. 192.168.10.127
