Refer to the exhibit. Consider the network topology. Which (if any) device in the topology has an incorrect IP address? (Assume that if two devices belong to one subnet, and another device belongs to a different subnet, that device (belonging to a different subnet than the other two devices) has an incorrect IP address.) A R1 B Server 1 C Client A D all devices have valid IP addresses ANSWER: The network shown has subnetted the 192.168.1.0 network using a 25-bit subnet mask (that is, 255.255.255.128). To determine which device (if any) is assigned an incorrect IP address, you need to determine the subnets created by the 25-bit subnet mask applied to the 192.168.1.0 network. Step 1. The interesting octet for a 25-bit subnet mask is the fourth octet, because the fourth octet is the last octet to contain a 1 in the 25-bit subnet mask (that is, 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000, which could alternately be written as 255.255.255.128). Step 2. The decimal value of the fourth octet in the subnet mask is 128. Therefore, the block size is 128 (that is, 256 - 128 = 128). Step 3. The first 192.168.1.0 subnet is 19.168.1.0/25 (that is, with the 1 borrowed bit in the fourth octet set to 0). Step 4. Beginning with the first subnet of 192.168.1.0/25 and counting by the block size of 128 in the interesting octet yields the following subnets (where the fourth octet is incremented by 128): 192.168.1.0/25 192.168.1.128/25
