Given a Class B network 155.16.0.0 with the mask 255.255.255.192, what is the maximum number of subnets that can be created, and what is the maximum number of hosts available within each created subnet?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subnet mask 255.255.255.192 allows for 6 bits for subnetting (since 192 is 11000000 in binary), creating 2^6 = 64 subnets. However, since it's a Class B network, the third octet is used for subnetting, allowing for 2^10 = 1024 subnets. Each subnet can have 2^6 - 2 = 62 hosts (subtracting 2 for network and broadcast addresses).
