Question

for this part of your assignment, you will be answering questions about subnets. i would suggest you use the 3 subnet worksheets i provided on blackboard as part of the lesson 4 lecture files to answer the following questions. i will be providing an answer sheet for this assignment after the deadline has passed. part 1 - given a subnet mask of : how many subnets/networks could i have? how many usable ip addresses or hosts are possible? what would the cidr block be?

Answer 1

The question involves calculating the number of subnets, usable IP addresses, and identifying the CIDR block given a subnet mask, within the field of Computers and Technology at a College level.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option Computers and Technology. When given a subnet mask, you can determine the number of subnets/networks, the number of usable IP addresses or hosts, and the corresponding CIDR block.

The number of subnets can be calculated from the number of bits used for subnetting in the mask. Similarly, the number of usable IP addresses is derived by subtracting 2 addresses (network and broadcast addresses) from the total number of addresses in the subnet.

The CIDR block notation combines the IP address and subnet mask to simplify routing.
