A network administrator is allocating subnets from the assigned address block using Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM). Subnets must be provisioned sequentially starting from the beginning of the block, ordered from largest to smallest host capacity requirement:
1. Sales Division: requires usable host IP addresses
2. Marketing Division: requires usable host IP addresses
3. Executive Staff: requires usable host IP addresses
If the Sales Division is assigned the first subnet starting at , what is the range of usable host IP addresses for the Marketing Division?
- through Cevap
- Bthrough
- Cthrough
- Dthrough
Cevap
The usable host IP address range for the Marketing Division is through .
The Sales Division takes ( addresses), placing the next available network block at . The Marketing Division requires usable hosts, requiring a block of at least IP addresses. A subnet provides total addresses (), creating a subnet range of to . Omitting the reserved network ID () and broadcast address () leaves valid usable host addresses from through .
