A user has created a VPC with CIDR 20.0.0.0/16. The user has created one subnet with CIDR 20.0.0.0/16 by
mistake. The user is trying to create another subnet of CIDR 20.0.0.1/24. How can the user create the second
subnet?
A.
There is no need to update the subnet as VPC automatically adjusts the CIDR of the first subnet based on
the second subnet’s CIDR
B.
The user can modify the first subnet CIDR from the console
C.
It is not possible to create a second subnet as one subnet with the same CIDR as the VPC has been
created
D.
The user can modify the first subnet CIDR with AWS CLI
Explanation:
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC. is a virtual network dedicated to the user’s AWS account. A user can create a
subnet with VPC and launch instances inside the subnet. The user can create a subnet with the same size of
VPC. However, he cannot create any other subnet since the CIDR of the second subnet will conflict with the
first subnet. The user cannot modify the CIDR of a subnet once it is created. Thus, in this case if required, the
user has to delete the subnet and create new subnets.
Correct Answer is C

C –> The IP address range of a VPC or subnet cannot be modified after the VPC has been created. You must delete the subnet or the VPC and subnet and then create a new subnet or VPC and subnet with the appropriate address ranges.
