The network administrator needs to address seven LANs. RIP version 1 is the only routing protocol in use on the network and subnet-zero is not being used. What is the maximum number of usable IP addresses that can be supported on each LAN if the organization is using one class C address block?
A. 6
B. 8
C. 14
D. 16
E. 30
F. 32
Answer : E
Explaination:
We need 7 LANs also subnet-zero (1st subnet must be not be included). So we need 7 subnets, then the appropriate mask will be 255.255.255.224.
For example: assume that our IP address will be on 192.168.100.0 network. Then the subnet would be
- 192.168.100.0
- 192.168.100.32
- 192.168.100.64
- 192.168.100.96
- 192.168.100.128
- 192.168.100.160
- 192.168.100.192
- 192.168.100.224
For each subnet it will have 30 usable ip addresses.
Refer to the question, the below is the topology of the network 7 network
