Question

Consider a class c network with the subnet mask 255.255.255.41. how many nid and hid are there in the subnet mask.

Answer 1

A class c network with the subnet mask 255.255.255.41 has 24 bits in NID and 8 bits in HID.

• A subnet mask is a 32-bit binary address i.e. containing only 0's and 1's.
• In which the HID (Host ID) is represented by the 0's part and the NID(Network ID) is represented by the 1's part.
• The given network, when converted to bit form will have 32 bits in total and because in above we have 3 bytes at peak i.e. 255 which have a binary representation of 11111111 we will have 8 X 3 = 24 bits representing 1 i.e. NID.
• The rest 8 bits are available for HID part.

Answer 2

Answer:

24 bits in NID and 8 bits in HID
