A network administrator is evaluating the IPv4 configuration on a core router interface assigned the IP address . Which of the following statements regarding this IPv4 addressing assignment are correct? (Select TWO.)
- The configured interface IP address represents the last usable host IP address within the subnet.Cevap
- The IP address falls within the RFC 1918 private IPv4 address space.Cevap
- CThe subnet provides a maximum capacity of usable host IP addresses for connected endpoints.
- DThe IP address is a globally routable public address because the Class B private space ends at .
Cevap
The statements confirming that the configured interface IP address is the last usable host within the subnet and that the IP address belongs to the RFC 1918 private IPv4 space are correct.
The subnet mask 255.255.252.0 (/22) creates subnets in increments of 4 in the third octet. For 172.31.223.254, the network address is 172.31.220.0 and the broadcast address is 172.31.223.255. Therefore, 172.31.223.254 is the last assignable host address in the subnet. Furthermore, RFC 1918 specifies the Class B private range as 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, so this address is a valid private IPv4 address.
