You have subnetted a Class C address space of 22055660 using
You have subnetted a Class C address space of 220.55.66.0 using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192. What is the useable address range for the first subnet?
A. 220.55.66.0 to 220.55.66.63
B. 220.55.66.0 to 220.55.66.62
C. 220.55.66.1 to 220.55.66.63
D. 220.55.66.1 to 220.55.66.62
Solution
The number of total available hosts on a subnet is 2h-2, where h is the number of bits used for the host portion of the address.
So, for the above question
255.255.255.192 11000000 2 6 2 62
Now, you can easily figure out the correct option (D)
| Mask | Binary | # Subnet bits | # Host bits | Subnets | Host |
