Question:medium

In a Class B subnet, we know the IP address of one host and the mask as given below: IP address = 125.134.112.66 Mask = 255.255.224.0 What is the first address (Network address)?

Show Hint

To find the network address, always perform a bitwise AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The network address is determined by performing a bitwise AND operation on the IP address 125.134.112.66 (binary: 01111101.10000110.01110000.01000010) and the subnet mask 255.255.224.0 (binary: 11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000). The bitwise AND calculation is as follows: 01111101.10000110.01110000.01000010 & 11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000 = 01111101.10000110. This binary result converts to 125.134.112.0 in decimal, establishing 125.134.112.0 as the network address.
