Which IPv4 network and subnet mask combination does the engineer (CCNA 200-301)
Which IPv4 network and subnet mask combination does the engineer assign to minimize wasting addresses?
A) 10.10.225.48 255.255.255.240
B) 10.10.225.32 255.255.255.240
C) 10.10.225.48 255.255.255.224
D) 10.10.225.32 255.255.255.224
Solution
Correct answer: D) 10.10.225.32 255.255.255.224.
Both option C and D use a /27 subnet mask, providing 30 usable addresses. Since the requirement is for 20 devices, option D offers the same efficiency as C while also utilizing a different network address within the provided 10.10.225.0 network. This could be beneficial for future network segmentation or organization purposes.
