Your company has a main office and a branch office.The relevant portion of the network is configured as
shown in the exhibit. (Click the Exhibitbutton.)
In the branch office, you deploy a new computer named Computer1 that runs Windows 7. You need to assign
an IP address to Computer1.
Which IP address should you use?
Exhibit:
A.
192.168.2.30
B.
192.168.2.40
C.
192.168.2.63
D.
192.168.2.65
Explanation:
1010 20115
Internal IP Adress of router is 192.168.2.62/27
Leaves 5 bits for range = 32 addresses (including the 2 reserved addresses)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.224
Address: 192.168.2.62 11000000.10101000.00000010.001 11110
Netmask: 255.255.255.224 = 27 11111111.11111111.11111111.111 00000
Wildcard: 0.0.0.31 00000000.00000000.00000000.000 11111
Network: 192.168.2.32/27 11000000.10101000.00000010.001 00000
Network Address : 192.168.2.32 (reserved)
Address of First Host : 192.168.2.33
Address of Last Host : 192.168.2.62
Broadcast Address : 192.168.2.63 (reserved)
Acceptable IP range: 192.168.2.33 – 192.168.2.62
Therefore
192.168.2.30: is out of range (in the wrong subnet,not subnet 2).
192.168.2.40: is accepable (in correct subnet, and not reservered).
192.168.2.63: is reserved for Broadcast (in subnet,but reservered).
192.168.2.65: is out of range (in the wrong subnet,not subnet 2).
Accepable IP ranges for those interested(excluding the 2 reserved IP addersses):
Segment 1: 192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.30
Segment 2: 192.168.2.33 – 192.168.2.62
