|
On a network with an IP address of 140.133.28.72 (or 10001100 10000101 00011100 01001000) and a subnet mask of 255.248.0.0 (or 11111111 11111000 00000000 00000000), what is the network ID?
|
140.248.0.0 (or 10001100 11111000 00000000 00000000)

As a networking consultant, you've been asked to help expand a client's TCP/IP network. The network administrator tells you that the network ID is subnetted as 185.27.54.0/26. On this network, how many bits of each IP address are devoted to host information?
|
6
