In a class B subnet, we know the IP address of one host and the mask as given below:
IP address: 125.134.112.66
Mask: 255.255.224.0What is the first address(Network address)?
- A.
125.134.96.0
- B.
125.134.112.0
- C.
125.134.112.66
- D.
125.134.0.0

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The subnet mask 255.255.224.0 corresponds to a /19 prefix, affecting the third octet with a block size of 32 (calculated as 256 - 224). For the given IP address 125.134.112.66, we examine the third octet value of 112. Dividing 112 by the block size of 32 yields a quotient of 3, placing it in the subnet starting at 96 (3 * 32). Therefore, the network address is determined to be 125.134.96.0.
