I'm just hoping the answer isn't E) 42. That would be way too cosmic for a networking exam!

I agree, C) 128 sounds right for that IP segment.

I'm with Jeannetta on this one. A) 126 has got to be the correct answer. Who would waste two IP addresses for the network and broadcast addresses? Silly question.

Woah, this is a tricky one. Let me think... B) 6 seems way too low, and D) 4 just doesn't make sense. I'm going with C) 128, it feels right.

I'm not so sure about that. Doesn't the network address and broadcast address take up two of those addresses? I'm leaning towards A) 126.

So that leaves us with 126 usable IP addresses for host and network devices.

I think you're right, the network and broadcast addresses do take up two of the addresses.

Hmm, I think the answer is C) 128. That's the number of available host addresses in a /24 subnet, right?

So that leaves us with 254 usable IP addresses for host devices. The answer should be C) 128.

I agree with Tuyet. With a /24 subnet mask, there are 256 total IP addresses, but 2 are reserved for network and broadcast addresses.
