255.255.255.224. How many usable host addresses will 100% Full
this subnet provide?​

2
6
14
30
62

Explanation: The subnet mask 255.255.255.224 is

equivalent to the /27 prefix. This leaves 5 bits for hosts,
providing a total of 30 usable IP addresses (25 = 32 – 2 =
30).

5. What subnet mask is represented by the slash notation

/20?

255.255.255.248
255.255.224.0
 255.255.240.0
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.192

Explanation: The slash notation /20 represents a subnet

mask with 20 1s. This would translate to:
11111111.11111111.11110000.0000, which in turn would
convert into 255.255.240.0.

6. Which statement is true about variable-length subnet

masking?

Each subnet is the same size.

The size of each subnet may be different, depending
on requirements.
Subnets may only be subnetted one additional time.
Bits are returned, rather than borrowed, to create
additional subnets.

Explanation: In variable-length subnet masking, bits are

borrowed to create subnets. Additional bits may be
borrowed to create additional subnets within the
original subnets. This may continue until there are no bits
available to borrow.

7. Why does a Layer 3 device perform the ANDing

process on a destination IP address and subnet mask?

to identify the broadcast address of the destination

network
to identify the host address of the destination host
to identify faulty frames
to identify the network address of the destination
network

Explanation: ANDing allows us to identify the network

 address from the IP address and the network mask.

8. How many usable IP addresses are available on the

192.168.1.0/27 network?

256
254
62
30
16
32

Explanation: A /27 mask is the same as

255.255.255.224. This leaves 5 host bits. With 5 host
bits, 32 IP addresses are possible, but one address
represents the subnet number and one address
represents the broadcast address. Thus, 30 addresses
can then be used to assign to network devices.

9. Which subnet mask would be used if exactly 4 host

bits are available?

255.255.255.224
255.255.255.128
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248

Explanation: The subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 has

5 host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.128 results in 7
host bits. The mask of 255.255.255.240 has 4 host bits.
Finally, 255.255.255.248 represents 3 host bits.

10. Which two parts are components of an IPv4 address?

(Choose two.)

subnet portion
network portion
logical portion
 host portion
physical portion
broadcast portion

Explanation: An IPv4 address is divided into two parts: a

network portion – to identify the specific network on
which a host resides, and a host portion – to identify
specific hosts on a network. A subnet mask is used to
identify the length of each portion.

11. If a network device has a mask of /26, how many IP

addresses are available for hosts on this network?

64
30
62
32
16
14

Explanation: A /26 mask is the same as

255.255.255.192. This leaves 6 host bits. With 6 host
bits, 64 IP addresses are possible, but one address
represents the subnet number and one address
represents the broadcast address. Thus 62 addresses
can then be assigned to network hosts.

12. 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.

13. How many valid host addresses are available on an

IPv4 subnet that is configured with a /26 mask?

254
190
192
62
64

Explanation: When a /26 mask is used, 6 bits are used

as host bits. With 6 bits, 64 addresses are possible, but
one address is for the subnet number and one address is
for a broadcast. This leaves 62 addresses that can be
assigned to network devices.

14. 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

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.

15. A network administrator subnets the 192.168.10.0/24

network into subnets with /26 masks. How many equal-
sized subnets are created?
