Question

12. Consider the following arrangement namely, A, B, and C: corr to a company of three departments 130.200.0.0/19 to Internet) Originally, Department A was granted the prefix 131.200.0.0/19. Once Departments B and C were formed, subnetting was used to allow B and C get their own set of addresses Before host on the A network? any subnetting was done, what was the first IP address that could be allocated to a a. 130.200.0.0 b. 130.200.0.0/19 c. 130.200.0.1 d. 130.200.0.1/19 13, Continuing with Question (12), and before any subnetting was done, how many host addresses can Department A allocate? a. 4096 addresses b. 8191 addresses c. 8192 addresses d. 524288 addresses

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Question 12:

The first address of any network is the network address. Therefore, the first address of the network is 131.200.0.0/19. Before any subnetting was done, the first address to be allocated to a host is 131.200.0.1/19.

Therefore, option d is correct.

Question 13:

Total number of host address of a network is 232-n where n is the subnet mask.

In the given question, the subnet mask is 19.

Therefore, 232 - 19 = 213 = 8192 number of addresses can be allocated.

Therefore, option c is correct.

Note that for every subnet, 2 addresses are kept reserved- the first address which is used as the network address and the last address which is used as the broadcast address.
