How many subnets are created when you borrow 3 bits from the host portion of a Class C address?
Answer: 8
Borrowing 3 bits yields 2^3 = 8 subnets (using the all-zeroes and all-ones subnets per modern practice).
What type of IPv4 address is 169.254.10.5?
Answer: APIPA / link-local
The 169.254.0.0/16 range is APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing), assigned when DHCP is unavailable.
Which device operates at Layer 1 and simply regenerates the electrical signal?
Answer: Hub
A hub is a Layer 1 device that repeats electrical signals out all ports without any intelligence.
What is the decimal value of the binary number 11001010?
Answer: 202
128+64+8+2 = 202 (bits 7,6,3,1 are set).
Which class of IP address uses the default subnet mask 255.255.0.0?
Answer: Class B
Class B addresses (128.0.0.0–191.255.255.255) have a default mask of 255.255.0.0 (/16).
A packet destined for 192.168.1.255 on a /24 network is sent as what type of transmission?
Answer: Directed broadcast
192.168.1.255 is the directed (subnet) broadcast for 192.168.1.0/24, sent to all hosts on that subnet.
Which layer of the TCP/IP model corresponds to OSI Layers 5, 6, and 7 combined?
