Final answer:
To determine which IP address belongs within the CIDR block 172.25.1.0/23, we need to understand CIDR notation. Any IP address that has the same first 23 bits will belong within the CIDR block 172.25.1.0/23.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which IP address belongs within the CIDR block 172.25.1.0/23, we need to understand CIDR notation. The /23 indicates that the first 23 bits of the IP address are the network address, while the remaining 9 bits are for host addresses.
In this case, the first 23 bits of the IP address 172.25.1.0/23 are 10101100.00011001.00000000. (The bolded bit represents the network portion.)
Any IP address that has the same first 23 bits will belong within the CIDR block 172.25.1.0/23. For example, IP addresses like 172.25.1.0, 172.25.1.65, or 172.25.1.127 would all belong to this CIDR block.
