Question

If a computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which other IP addresses are on the same subnet?

A) 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255
B) 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10
C) 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.9
D) 192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.254

Answer 1

The range of IP addresses on the same subnet as 192.168.1.10 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255, which means the correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the other IP addresses on the same subnet would be within the range that the subnet mask allows. In this case, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 denotes that all the IP addresses with the first three octets being the same and only the fourth octet varying are on the same subnet. Therefore, the range of IP addresses in the same subnet would be from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255.

It is important to note that the range includes the network address (192.168.1.0) and the broadcast address (192.168.1.255), both of which are not assignable to devices. Therefore, the assignable range of addresses for devices in this subnet would be from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.

Consequently, the correct answer to which other IP addresses are on the same subnet is option A) 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255.
