You need to configure a server that is on the subnet 192.168.19.24/29....
A /29 is 255.255.255.248, which is a block size of 8 in the fourth octet. The subnets are 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. 192.168.19.24 is the 24 subnet, and since 32 is the next subnet, the broadcast address for the 24 subnet is 31. 192.168.19.26 is the only correct answer.

You need to configure a server that is on the subnet 192.168.19.24/29....
Question Analysis
- The subnet for the server is given as 192.168.19.24/29.
- The router has the first available host address.
Understanding Subnetting
- Subnetting is the process of dividing a network into smaller subnetworks.
- It allows for efficient utilization of IP addresses and improves network management.
Subnet Calculation
- The subnet 192.168.19.24/29 indicates that the first 29 bits are network bits and the remaining 3 bits are host bits.
- The subnet mask for /29 is 255.255.255.248.
- This means that there are 8 possible IP addresses in the subnet, with 6 usable addresses for hosts.
Identification of Available Host Addresses
- In a /29 subnet, the first IP address is the network address, and the last IP address is the broadcast address.
- The remaining 6 addresses are available for hosts.
- Since the router has the first available host address, it would be assigned the IP address 192.168.19.25.
Assignment of IP Address to Server
- The server is assigned an IP address from the available host addresses.
- The options provided are:
a) 192.168.19.0
b) 192.168.19.33
c) 192.168.19.26
d) 192.168.19.31
Analysis of Options
a) 192.168.19.0 is the network address and cannot be assigned to a host.
b) 192.168.19.33 is outside the range of available host addresses in the /29 subnet.
c) 192.168.19.26 is within the range of available host addresses in the /29 subnet and can be assigned to the server.
d) 192.168.19.31 is the broadcast address and cannot be assigned to a host.
Conclusion
- Based on the analysis, the correct option to assign to the server is c) 192.168.19.26 255.255.255.248.
