9. The following IPv4 addresses in hexadecimal notation is – 10000001 00001011 00001011 11101111-
a) 0x810B0BEF
b) 0x810D0AFF
c) 0x810B0BFE
d) 0x810C0CEF
View Answer
Explanation: We replace each group of 4 bits with its hexadecimal equivalent. Note that 0X (or 0x) is added at the beginning or the subscript 16 at the end. 0x810B0BEF or 810B0BEF_16.
10. Find the number of addresses in a range if the first address is 146.102.29.0 and last address is 146.102.32.255.
a) 1028
b) 1024
c) 578
d) 512
View Answer
Explanation: Subtract the first address from the last address in base 256.
The result = 0.0.3.255
Therefore, number of addresses = (3 X 256 + 255) + 1 = 1024.
11. The first address in a range of addresses is 14.11.45.96. If the number of addresses in the range is 32, what is the last address?
a) 14.11.44.64
b) 14.11.44.128
c) 14.12.44.128
d) 14.11.45.127
View Answer
Explanation: Last Address = (14.11.45.96 + 0.0.0.31)_256 = 14.11.45.127.
