You are working in a data center environment and are assigned the address range 10.188.31.0/23.

You are asked to develop an IP addressing plan to allow the maximum number of subnets with as
many as 30 hosts each.Which IP address range meets these requirements?
A. 10.188.31.0/27
B. 10.188.31.0/26
C. 10.188.31.0/29
D. 10.188.31.0/28
E. 10.188.31.0/25

Answer: A
Explanation
Each subnet has 30 hosts < 32 = 2
5
so we need a subnet mask which has at least 5 bit 0s -> /27.
Also the question requires the maximum number of subnets (which minimum the number of hosts-
per-subnet) so /27 is the best choice -> A is correct.


Question 12
How many subnets can be gained by subnetting 172.17.32.0/23 into a /27 mask, and how many
usable host addresses will there be per subnet?
A. 8 subnets, 31 hosts
B. 8 subnets, 32 hosts
C. 16 subnets, 30 hosts
D. 16 subnets, 32 hosts
E. A Class B address cant be subnetted into the fourth octet.

Answer: C
Explanation
Subnetting from /23 to /27 gives us 27 23 = 4 bits -> 2
4
= 16 subnets.
/27 has 5 bit 0s so it gives 2
5
2 = 30 hosts-per-subnet.
Refer to the exhibit.

Which subnet mask will place all hosts on Network B in the same subnet with the least amount of
wasted addresses?
A.
255.255.255.0
B.
255.255.254.0
C.
255.255.252.0
D.
255.255.248.0

Answers: B
255.255.254.0
Explanation:
310 hosts < 512 = 29 -> We need a subnet mask of 9 bits 0 -> 1111 1111.1111 1111.1111
1110.0000 0000 -> 255.255.254.0

Question 8
Refer to the exhibit. All of the routers in the network are configured with the ip subnet-zero command.
Which network addresses should be used for Link A and Network A? (Choose two)

A. Network A 172.16.3.48/26
B. Network A 172.16.3.128/25
C. Network A 172.16.3.192/26
D. Link A 172.16.3.0/30
E. Link A 172.16.3.40/30
F. Link A 172.16.3.112/30

Answer: B D
Explanation
Network A needs 120 hosts < 128 = 2
7
-> Need a subnet mask of 7 bit 0s -> /25.
Because the ip subnet-zero command is used, network 172.16.3.0/30 can be used.
Answer E Link A 172.16.3.40/30 is not correct because this subnet belongs to MARKETING subnet
(172.16.3.32/27).
Answer F Link A 172.16.3.112/30 is not correct because this subnet belongs to ADMIN subnet
(172.16.3.96/27).

Question 3
Refer to the exhibit. What is the most appropriate summarization for these routes?

A. 10.0.0.0/21
B. 10.0.0.0/22
C. 10.0.0.0/23
D. 10.0.0.0/24

Answer: B
Explanation
We need to summarize 4 subnets so we have to move left 2 bits (2
2
= 4). In this question we can
guess the initial subnet mask is /24 because 10.0.0.0, 10.0.1.0, 10.0.2.0, 10.0.3.0 belong to different
networks. So /24 moves left 2 bits -> /22.

Which command is necessary to permit SSH or Telnet access to a cisco switch that is otherwise
configured for these vty line protocols?
A.
transport type all
B.

C.
transport preferred all
D.
