01
Front

How many bits are in an IPv4 address?

Back

An IPv4 address contains 3232 bits.

02
Front

What does an IPv4 CIDR prefix length specify?

Back

It specifies how many leading bits identify the network; the remaining bits identify addresses within that network.

03
Front

How do you determine a subnet's network address?

Back

Set all host bits to 00.

04
Front

How do you calculate total addresses for prefix length pp?

Back

For prefix length pp, the block contains 232−p2^{32-p} total addresses.

05
Front

How do you calculate usable hosts on an ordinary subnet?

Back

For conventional prefixes from /0 through /30, subtract 22 from the total: the network and broadcast addresses are reserved.

06
Front

How is subnet block size found from the mask?

Back

In the octet where the mask is less than 255255, block size is 256−mask value256 - \text{mask value}.

07
Front

What is the network address for 192.168.10.77/26?

Back

The /26 subnet containing 192.168.10.77 starts at 192.168.10.64.

08
Front

How many usable hosts does a /26 subnet have?

Back

It has 66 host bits and 26=642^6 = 64 total addresses, so it supports 6262 usable hosts.

09
Front

How are the two addresses in a /31 point-to-point link used?

Back

A /31 has two addresses for point-to-point link endpoints; neither is treated as the conventional network or directed-broadcast address.

10
Front

How do you determine a subnet's broadcast address?

Back

Set all host bits to 11.

11
Front

For /26, what is the last-octet block size?

Back

The /26 mask is 255.255.255.192, giving a last-octet block size of 256−192=64256 - 192 = 64.

12
Front

What is the broadcast address for 192.168.10.77/26?

Back

The /26 subnet containing 192.168.10.77 ends at 192.168.10.127.
