You are examining a network ID of 172.16.1.0 /24. Which of the following is a useable host address on this network?

A. 176.16.1.1

B. 172.16.1.254

C. 172.16.1.0

D. 172.16.1.255

Solution

A and B are correct. This network has only the last octet available for host bits. As long as they are not all 1s or all 0s, the address is a valid host address.

C and D are incorrect. C is not correct because 172.16.1.0 has all host bits turned off (network ID). Dis not correct because 172.16.1.255 has all host bits turned on (broadcast address).
