Zorluk: OrtaIPv4 Addressing and Subnetting

A network administrator is allocating IP addresses for a high-availability firewall cluster. The segment is assigned a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248255.255.255.248. How many usable host IP addresses are available for assignment in this subnetwork?

Cevap: 6 addresses

Cevap

There are 6 usable host IP addresses available in a subnetwork assigned a 255.255.255.248255.255.255.248 subnet mask.
A subnet mask of 255.255.255.248255.255.255.248 corresponds to a /29/29 CIDR prefix length. This leaves 3 host bits (32−29=332 - 29 = 3), providing 23=82^3 = 8 total IP addresses per subnet block. Subtracting 2 for the network ID (all host bits 0) and the directed broadcast address (all host bits 1) leaves exactly 6 usable host IP addresses.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total block size of IP addresses in the subnet
256−248=8256 - 248 = 8 total IP addresses
The subnet mask octet of 248 indicates a block size of 8 total addresses (23=82^3 = 8 host bits).
2
Subtract reserved network and broadcast addresses
8−2=68 - 2 = 6 usable host IP addresses
The network ID (first address) and broadcast address (last address) cannot be assigned to hosts.
