need help with this subnet question
Assume that you have been assigned 192.168.111.129/28. How many bits are borrowed to create the subnet field? (1 Point for the correct answer) What is the maximum number of subnets that can be created with this number of bits? (1 Point for the correct answer) How many bits can be used to create the host space? What is the maximum number of possible IP addresses in the host space? What is the maximum number of IP addresses that can be actually assigned to a host device in a subnet? What is the subnet mask in binary representation? What is the subnet mask in decimal representation?Explanation / Answer
Assume that you have been assigned 192.168.111.129/28.
1. How many bits are borrowed to create the subnet field?
28 bits is what is specified after the slash (/)
2. What is the maximum number of subnets that can be created with this number of bits?
The maximum number of subnets that can be created is 16.
3. How many bits can be used to create the host space.
The remaining bits i.e., 32 - 28 = 4 bits.
4. What is the maximum number of possible IP addresses in the host space.
As there are 4 bits the maximum number of possible host space is 2^4 = 16 - 2 = 14.
