| Question 45 |
Two computers C1 and C2 are configured as follows. C1 has IP address 203.197.2.53 and netmask 255.255.128.0. C2 has IP address 203.197.75.201 and netmask 255.255.192.0. Which one of the following statements is true?
| C1 and C2 both assume they are on the same network | |
| C2 assumes C1 is on same network, but C1 assumes C2 is on a different network | |
| C1 assumes C2 is on same network, but C2 assumes C1 is on a different network | |
| C1 and C2 both assume they are on different networks |
Question 45 Explanation:
From C1 side,
Subnet mask for C1 is 255.255.128.0.
So it finds the Network ID as,
C1 → 203.197.2.53 AND 255.255.128.0 = 203.197.0.0
C2 → 203.197.75.201 AND 255.255.128.0 = 203.197.0.0
Both same.
From C2 side,
Subnet mask for C2 is 255.255.192.0.
So it finds the network ID as,
C1 → 203.197.2.53 AND 255.255.192.0 = 203.197.0.0
C2 → 203.197.75.201 AND 255.255.192.0 = 203.197.64.0
Both different.
Hence, option ‘C’ is correct.
