Question

Your router has the address 172.16.2.1/23 on the ethernet interface , which ip address can be assigned to a host connected to the ethernet interface of the router and what will be that host's default gateway?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The router's IP address on the E0 interface is 172.16.2.1/23, which is 255.255.254.0. This makes the third octet a block size of 2. The router's interface is in the 2.0 subnet, and the broadcast address is 3.255 because the next subnet is 4.0. The valid host range is 2.1 through 3.254. The router is using the first valid host address in the range.
