How many subnets can be gained by subnetting 172.17.32.0/23 into a /27 mask, and how many
usable host addresses will there be per subnet?
A.
8 subnets, 31 hosts
B.
8 subnets, 32 hosts
C.
16 subnets, 30 hosts
D.
16 subnets, 32 hosts
E.
A Class B address can’t be subnetted into the fourth octet.
Explanation:
A network mask of /23 will provide for up to 512 IP addresses. A /27 will provide for up to 32 IP
address (30 usuable hosts). 512/32 = 16 different network subnets.
