Q1Domain Verified
A network administrator is tasked with allocating IP addresses for a corporate network that requires 15 subnets, each needing at least 50 usable hosts. They are considering using a /22 subnet mask. What is the primary limitation of this approach for the given requirements?
A /22 subnet mask does not provide enough hosts per subnet to meet the requirement of 50 usable hosts.
A /22 subnet mask is not compatible with modern routing protocols for enterprise networks.
A /22 subnet mask results in an inefficient use of IP addresses due to a large number of unused host addresses per subnet.
A /22 subnet mask provides too many subnets, leading to address exhaustion.
Q2Domain Verified
asks about the *primary limitation* for the given requirements. Option A is incorrect because a /22 only provides 4 subnets, far fewer than the 15 required. Option B is incorrect because a /22 provides far *more* than 50 usable hosts. Option D is incorrect; /22 is a standard and perfectly compatible subnet mask. The primary limitation is the inefficient use of IP addresses by creating vastly oversized subnets when fewer are needed, leading to wasted address space. Question: In the context of CIDR, what is the fundamental difference between a Class C network address (e.g., 192.168.1.0) with a /24 subnet mask and a /25 subnet mask, assuming the same network block?
The /25 subnet mask allows for more host addresses within the same network block.
The /25 subnet mask necessitates the use of a private IP address range.
The /25 subnet mask reduces the number of available subnets compared to a /24.
The /25 subnet mask divides the original network block into two smaller subnets.
Q3Domain Verified
An organization is migrating from a legacy classful addressing scheme to CIDR. They are presented with the IP address 172.16.50.100 and are told it belongs to a network that was previously a Class B network. If the new CIDR notation is 172.16.50.0/22, what is the most significant implication for the original network segment?
The original Class B network has been divided into a significantly larger number of smaller subnets.
The /22 mask has extended the network portion by borrowing bits from the original Class B host portion.
The /22 mask has reduced the number of usable host addresses per subnet.
The /22 mask creates a single, larger network segment than the original Class B.
