What is the maximum number of hosts you can use foreach subnet that belongs to a class C address?
A.
128
B.
254
C.
256
D.
65,534
Explanation:
Section Reference: Categorizing IPv4 Addresses
A class C has 8 bits left for hosts. Therefore, 2^8 is equal to 256. But since you cannot use all 0s (network
address) and all 1s (broadcast address), a class C will only support up to 254 hosts.
B. 254
