What is the total number of bits in an IP address?
In a /16 network, how many bits are available for hosts/subnets?
16 bits are available for hosts/subnets.
8 bits are available for hosts/subnets.
24 bits are available for hosts/subnets.
32 bits are available for hosts/subnets.
Using 3 bits for subnets, how many hosts can be accommodated per subnet?
The number of hosts that can be accommodated per subnet is calculated using the formula 2^n - 2, where n is the number of host bits. In this case, if 3 bits are used for subnets, then 5 bits are left for hosts (since there are 8 bits in total for an octet). Therefore, the number of hosts per subnet is 2^5 - 2 = 32 - 2 = 30.
The number of hosts per subnet is 2^3 - 2 = 6.
The number of hosts per subnet is 2^4 - 2 = 14.
The number of hosts per subnet is 2^6 - 2 = 62.
