Correct Answer
B. 1001 0110 1001 0110 0000 0000 0000 0000Explanation
The result of a Boolean AND between the IP address 150.150.4.100 and the mask 255.255.192.0 is obtained by performing a bitwise AND operation between the binary representations of the IP address and the mask. In this case, the mask 255.255.192.0 can be represented in binary as 11111111.11111111.11000000.00000000. When performing the bitwise AND operation, any bit that has a corresponding 1 in both the IP address and the mask will result in a 1, while any bit that has a corresponding 0 in either the IP address or the mask will result in a 0. Therefore, the bits that are common between the IP address and the mask will remain the same, while the bits that are different will be set to 0. Thus, the correct answer is 1001 0110 1001 0110 0000 0000 0000 0000.Rate this question:

- A.
/248
- B.
/24
- C.
/28
- D.
/21
- E.
/20
Correct Answer
D. /21Explanation
The subnet mask 255.255.248.0 has a total of 21 network bits. In prefix notation, the equivalent is represented by /21. This means that the first 21 bits of the IP address are used to identify the network, while the remaining bits are used to identify hosts within that network.Rate this question:

If mask 255.255.255.128 were used with a Class B network, how many subnets could exist, with how many hosts per subnet, respectively?
- A.
256 and 256
- B.
254 and 254
- C.
62 and 1022
- D.
1022 and 62
- E.
512 and 126
Correct Answer
E. 512 and 126Explanation
If a Class B network is being used with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128, it means that the last octet of the IP address is divided into two parts: the first 7 bits are used for the network portion, and the last bit is used for the host portion.
Since there are 7 bits in the host portion, the number of possible subnets is 2^7, which equals 128. However, the first and last subnets are reserved, so the actual number of usable subnets is 128-2, which equals 126.
On the other hand, since there is only 1 bit in the host portion, the number of possible hosts per subnet is 2^1, which equals 2. However, the first and last addresses in each subnet are reserved (network address and broadcast address), so the actual number of usable hosts per subnet is 2-2, which equals 0.
Therefore, the correct answer is 512 and 126.Rate this question:
-

Which of the following masks meets the design criteria?
- A.
255.255.255.0
- B.
/23
- C.
/26
- D.
255.255.252.0
Correct Answer
B. /23Explanation
The /23 subnet mask meets the design criteria because it allows for 510 hosts per subnet, which is more than the required 100 hosts per subnet. The other options do not provide enough hosts per subnet to meet the design requirements.Rate this question:

If mask 255.255.255.240 were used with a Class C network, how many subnets could exist, with how many hosts per subnet, respectively?
- A.
16 and 16
- B.
14 and 14
- C.
16 and 14
- D.
8 and 32
- E.
32 and 8
Correct Answer
C. 16 and 14Explanation
With a subnet mask of 255.255.255.240, a Class C network can be divided into 16 subnets, each with 14 hosts. This is because the subnet mask 255.255.255.240 allows for 4 bits to be used for subnetting, which gives us 2^4 = 16 subnets. Each subnet can have 2^4 - 2 = 14 hosts, as 2 addresses are reserved for network address and broadcast address in each subnet. Therefore, the correct answer is 16 and 14.Rate this question:

- C.
255.255.255.0
- D.
255.255.192.0
- E.
255.255.240.0
Correct Answer
C. 255.255.255.0Explanation
The subnet mask 255.255.255.0 allows a Class B network to have up to 150 hosts per subnet and supports 164 subnets. This is because the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 has 8 bits available for host addresses, which can accommodate 2^8 - 2 = 254 hosts per subnet. Since we need to have up to 150 hosts per subnet, this subnet mask meets the requirement. Additionally, the subnet mask has 8 bits available for network addresses, which can support 2^8 = 256 subnets. Since we need to support 164 subnets, this subnet mask also meets that requirement.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
B. 255.255.0.0
C. 255.255.255.0
D. 255.255.192.0
E. 255.255.252.0Explanation
Each subnet mask represents the number of bits used to identify the network and host portions of an IP address. In this case, a Class A network has a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0, which provides 8 bits for the network portion and 24 bits for the host portion. To have up to 150 hosts per subnet, we need at least 8 bits for the host portion, so the subnet mask must be at least 255.255.0.0. Additionally, to support 164 subnets, we need at least 8 bits for the network portion, so the subnet mask must be at least 255.255.255.0. The other options do not meet these requirements.Rate this question:

Which of the following roles does a SOHO router typically play in regards to IP address assignment?
- A.
DHCP server on the interface connected to the ISP
- B.
DHCP server on the interface connected to the PCs at the home/office
- C.
DHCP client on the interface connected to the ISP
- D.
DHCP client on the interface connected to the PCs at the home/office
Correct Answer(s)
B. DHCP server on the interface connected to the PCs at the home/office
C. DHCP client on the interface connected to the ISPExplanation
A SOHO router typically acts as a DHCP server on the interface connected to the PCs at the home/office, which means it assigns IP addresses to the devices within the local network. Additionally, it also acts as a DHCP client on the interface connected to the ISP, which means it obtains an IP address from the ISP's network for the router itself to establish an internet connection. This allows the devices in the local network to communicate with each other and access the internet through the router.Rate this question:

You just bought two Cisco routers for use in a lab, connecting each router to a different LAN switch with their Fa0/0 interfaces. You also connected the two routers’ serial interfaces using a back-to-back cable. Which of the following steps is not required to be able to forward IP on both routers’ interfaces?
- A.
Configuring an IP address on each router’s FastEthernet and serial interfaces
- B.
Configuring the bandwidth command on one router’s serial interface
- C.
Configuring the clock rate command on one router’s serial interface
- D.
Setting the interface description on both the FastEthernet and serial interface of each router
Correct Answer(s)
B. Configuring the bandwidth command on one router’s serial interface
D. Setting the interface description on both the FastEthernet and serial interface of each routerExplanation
The step that is not required to be able to forward IP on both routers' interfaces is configuring the bandwidth command on one router's serial interface. The bandwidth command is used to manually set the bandwidth value on an interface, which is typically used for routing protocols to calculate metrics. However, it is not necessary for forwarding IP traffic on the interfaces. Additionally, setting the interface description on both the FastEthernet and serial interface of each router is also not required for forwarding IP traffic, as interface descriptions are used for administrative purposes and do not affect the forwarding of IP packets.Rate this question:
