Answer:

6 hosts can have IP addresses on the LAN attached to the router interface

Step-by-step explanation:

Given IP address

=> 192.168.192.10/29

It has a subnet mask of /29 which means it has 3 host bits. This is calculated by subtracting 29 from 32(number of bits in an IPV4)

Since there are 3 host bits, the total number of possible addresses is given by

=>
2^(3) = 8 possible addresses.

Out of these 8 possible addresses, the first address will be the subnet id and the last address will be the broadcast address.

Therefore, there are only 6 addresses available for the hosts.

Hope this helps!
