Correct!


10. Given the IP address of 193.243.12.43 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.128, what is the subnet address?

e. None of the above
The Subnet Address is found by setting all of the host bits in an address to 0. According to the mask, there are 7 host bits, so applying this rule yields a subnet address of 193.243.12.0. However, closer inspection yields that there is only one subnet bit in this Class C address - therefore, this is an illegal address/mask pair.
