how many usable host addresses are available for each subnet when 4 bits are borrowed from a class C IP address

Sagot :

Answer:

The answer is "14".

Explanation:

Let the IP address [tex]= 196.45.204.0[/tex]

When it borrowed 4 bits

[tex]\therefore\\\\ subnet = 28[/tex]

[tex]IP= \frac{196.45.204.0}{28}\\\\ 28 \to 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000[/tex]

If the borrowed bits are left out then:

The Number of useable host addresses:

[tex]= {(2^4) - 2} \\\\ = 16-2\\\\ =14[/tex]
