Question

Given the IP address, 192.168.7.90, and a subnet mask of /24 provide the network definition and broadcast address.

a) 192.168.7.0 192.168.7.255
b) 192.168.7.1 192.168.7.254
c) 192.168.7.2 192.168.7.253
d) 192.168.7.3 192.168.7.252

Answer 1

The correct network definition for an IP address of 192.168.7.90 with a /24 subnet mask is 192.168.7.0 for the network address and 192.168.7.255 for the broadcast address, which corresponds to option a).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an IP address of 192.168.7.90 with a subnet mask of /24, the network definition consists of a network address and a broadcast address. The subnet mask /24 implies that the first 24 bits of the IP address are used for the network portion, which in this case translates to 192.168.7.0 as the network address.

Each subnet has one broadcast address, which is the highest address in the range. For the /24 network, the broadcast address is 192.168.7.255. Therefore, option a) 192.168.7.0 as the network address and 192.168.7.255 as the broadcast address is correct.

The correct network definition for an IP address of 192.168.7.90 with a /24 subnet mask is 192.168.7.0 for the network address and 192.168.7.255 for the broadcast address, which corresponds to option a).
