An IPv4 address is assigned to the ______ of a network device.

• LAN.

• Source.

• Interconnecting card.

• Network Interface card.

The IPv4 address is a logical network address that identifies a particular host and in order for the host to make use of it for both local and remote communication, the address must be unique.

• True.

• False.

An IPv4 address is simply a series of ______ binary bits (ones and zeros).

• 8.

• 16.

• 32.

• 64.

The value of each of the four octets of an IPv4 address can range from 0 to a maximum of

• 32.

• 64.

• 128.

• 255.

Which one of the following represents the value of an octet with “00100110”?

• 6.

• 38.

• 117.

• 255.

A particular host was assigned an IP address of 192.168.10.15 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. the first three octets, (192.168.10) identifies the ______ portion of the address and the last octet, (15) identifies the ______.

• network; host.

• host; network.

• source; destination.

• destination; source.

Three hosts on a single, physical local network have the same network portion of their IPv4 addresses (192.168.15) and three other hosts have a different network portion (192.168.2). All six hosts will be able to communicate with each other without the use of a router.

• True.

• False.

A subnet mask of “255.255.255.0” or “11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000” uses ______ bits to identify the network number and leaves ______ bits to number the hosts on that network.

• 8; 8.

• 8; 24.

• 24; 8.

• 16; 16.

All 1s within the host portion of an IPv4 address is a ______ address for that network and cannot be assigned to a specific host.

• MAC.

• Network.

• Broadcast.

• Default gateway.

Calculate the maximum number of hosts available when given a subnet mask of “255.255.255.0” or “11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000”.

• 8.

• 24.

• 254.

• 256.
