Given the routing entries shown in the exhibit, which next-hop IP address will be used for the destination IP addreess 192.168.1.159 (Assume that only static routes are available for the destination)
A.
10.20.14.130
B.
10.18.1.1
C.
10.20.14.131
D.
10.20.106.10
How come ?
192.168.1.128/255.255.255.224 (27)
Valid IP Rang:192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.158
Broadcast IP: 192.168.1.159
The answer D is correct but this IP can not be assign to host.
So…Given the routing entries shown in the exhibit, which next-hop IP address will be used for the destination IP addreess 192.168.1.159
where is the mention of assigning the address to a host? Question was a simple question. Are you suggesting that a broadcast address cannot be a destination address? I just fail to see why your comment. I guess you just wanted readers to know that. Ok.
Answer D is right like the friend traffikator says.
The question is referring to reach this broadcast address. Don’t get confuse with Answer A, 192.168.1.128/28 range is .128-.143 (including NetIP and Broadcast IP). So 192.168.1.159 is out of range of this network range.
D.
10.20.106.10
