Question 3

Consider three machines M, N and P with IP addresses 100.10.5.2, 100.10.5.5, and 100.10.5.6 respectively. The subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.252 for all the three machines. Which one of the following is true?

A
M, N, and P all belong to the same subnet
B
Only M and N belong to the same subnet
C
M, N and P belong to three different subnets
D
Only N and P belong to the same subnet
Question 3 Explanation: 
Take each IP and do bitwise AND with the given Subnet Mask. If we get the same network ID for the given IP’S then it will belong to the same subnet.

Therefore, N and P belong to the same subnet.

Correct Answer: D
Question 3 Explanation: 
Take each IP and do bitwise AND with the given Subnet Mask. If we get the same network ID for the given IP’S then it will belong to the same subnet.

Therefore, N and P belong to the same subnet.
