Question

convert ip address to binary and fill in the following blanks with corresponding binary numbers: answer: 11000000 . 10101000 . 00010111 . 00000101 suppose the last byte is host address. write the subnet address in decimal shorthand format (a.b.c.d/e). answer:

Answer 1

The binary IP address '11000000.10101000.00010111.00000101' converts to the decimal address '192.168.23.5', with a subnet address in CIDR notation of '192.168.23.0/24'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The IP address 11000000.10101000.00010111.00000101 represents the decimal address 192.168.23.5. The last byte is specified as the host address, meaning the first three bytes denote the network. Taking the provided binary IP address, we can infer that the subnet address in decimal shorthand format includes the network portion of the IP (192.168.23) followed by a default subnet mask for a Class C network which is 255.255.255.0 or in CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation /24 since the first 24 bits represent the network portion. Therefore, the subnet address is 192.168.23.0/24.
