Subnetting

Question 5
The address of a class B host is to be split into subnets with a 6 – bit subnet number. What is the maximum number of subnets and maximum number of hosts in each subnet?
A
62 subnets and 1022 hosts
B
64 subnets and 1024 hosts
C
62 subnets and 254 hosts
D
64 subnets and 256 hosts
Question 5 Explanation: 
It is a class B address, so there 16-bits for NID and 16-bits for HID.
From HID, we took 6-bits for subnetting.
Then total subnets possible = ( 26 ) – 2 = 64
Total hosts possible for each subnet = (210) – 2 = 1022
Correct Answer: A
