Networking 1 CH 8 Exam Questions

Which two reasons generally make DHCP the preferred method of assigning IP addresses to hosts on large networks? ( two.)

-It reduces the burden on network support staff. -It eliminates most address configuration errors.

Consider the following range of addresses: 2001:0DB8:BC15:00A0:0000:: 2001:0DB8:BC15:00A1:0000:: 2001:0DB8:BC15:00A2:0000:: ... 2001:0DB8:BC15:00AF:0000:: The prefix-length for the range of addresses is:

/60

How many host addresses are available on the network 172.16.128.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0?

1022

What is the prefix for the host address 2001:DB8:BC15:A:12AB::1/64?

2001:DB8:BC15:A

A DHCP server is used to assign IP addresses dynamically to the hosts on a network. The address pool is configured with 192.168.10.0/24. There are 3 printers on this network that need to use reserved static IP addresses from the pool. How many IP addresses in the pool are left to be assigned to other hosts?

251

What subnet mask would be used if 5 host bits are available?

255.255.255.224​

A network administrator is variably subnetting a network. The smallest subnet has a mask of 255.255.255.248. How many usable host addresses will this subnet provide?​

6

What is a result of connecting two or more switches together?

The size of the broadcast domain is increased.

How many bits must be borrowed from the host portion of an address to accommodate a router with five connected networks?

four

A network administrator needs to monitor network traffic to and from servers in a data center. Which features of an IP addressing scheme should be applied to these devices?

predictable static IP addresses for easier identification

A company has a network address of 192.168.1.64 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192. The company wants to create two subnetworks that would contain 10 hosts and 18 hosts respectively. Which two networks would achieve that? (Choose two.)

-192.168.1.96/28 -192.168.1.64/27

What are two reasons a network administrator might want to create subnets? (Choose two.)

-improves network performance -easier to implement security policies

If a network device has a mask of /28, how many IP addresses are available for hosts on this network?
