Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 2

You are working with a network that is 172.16.0.0 and would like to support 600 hosts per subnet. What subnet mask should you use?

Detailed Solution for Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 2

Concept:

In class B, the first two octets(16 bits) represent network address and out of these 16 bits first two bits are fixed(10) to specify that its class B and the remaining 14 bits represent 214 networks, and each network has 216 - 2 host.

So,

IPv4 address: 32 bits

Network Id = 16 bits

Since there are 600 Host ID

∴ Host ID = ⌈log600⌉= 10

IP address = Network ID + Subnet ID + Host ID

32 = 16 + Subnet ID + 10

∴ Subnet ID = 6

In subnet mask, all host id bits are 0 and network id, subnet id are 1’s

Network ID + Subnet ID = 6 + 16 = 22 bits

subnet mask: 11111111. 11111111. 11111100.00000000

subnet mask: 255. 255.252.0

Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 5

The IP address _______ is used by hosts when they are being booted.

Detailed Solution for Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 5

The correct answer is option A.
In IPv4 0.0.0.0 is used for the default route. IP address 0.0.0.0 is used by hosts when they are being booted. If the packet's destination address is unknown, and the default route is unknown, but the default route is present in the router's routing table, the packet is not discarded but forwarded to the next router.
∴ Hence the correct answer is 0.0.0.0.

Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 8

An IP packet has arrived with the first 8 bits as 0100 0010. Which of the following is correct ?

Detailed Solution for Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 8

Concept

Minimum header size of IPv4 = 20 byte

Maximum header size of IPv4 = 60 byte

Header length field in the IPv4 header is 4 bits.

Maximum possible value (1111) = 15

The scaling factor of 6015=4 is introduced

IP header

 

But the first 8 bits in the Question are 0100 0010.

The first 4 bits indicate the version which is IPv4 (0100)

Now the next four bit indicates Header length (bits decimal value × 4) which is 2 × 4 = 8 bytes

which is not possible since the minimum header length for IPv4 is 20 bytes.

Hence Receiver will reject the packet.

Therefore option D is the correct answer.

    • It calculates its network address as 203.197.0.0.
    • It considers Computer B (203.197.75.201) as being on the same network if the IP falls within the same network address range.
  • For Computer B (203.197.75.201):
    • It calculates its network address as 203.197.64.0.
    • Since 203.197.2.53 does not fall within the range of 203.197.64.0, it assumes that A is on a different network.

Conclusion

  • Computer A assumes that Computer B is on the same network.
  • Computer B assumes that Computer A is on a different network.

Thus, the correct option is indeed: c) A assumes B is on the same network, but B assumes A is on a different network.

Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 10

What flavour of Network Address Translation can be used to have one IP address allow many users to connect to the global internet?

Detailed Solution for Test: Introduction & IP Addressing- 1 - Question 10

PAT (Port Address Translation):

  • Allows a one to many approaches to network address translation (NAT)
  • Permits multiple devices on a LAN to be mapped to a single public IP address.
  • Goal of PAT is to conserve IP address
  • Most home networks use PAT.
  • Thousands of users can be connected to the internet by using one public address.

Static NAT:

  • A single private IP address is mapped with single public IP address.
  • Used in web hosting.
  • Private IP address is translated to a public IP address.

Dynamic NAT:

  • Multiple private IP address are mapped to a pool of public IP address.
  • Used when we know the number of fixed user wants to access the internet at any time.

So,
From above concepts we can say that PAT is used can be used to have one IP address allow many users to connect to the global internet.
