5. A host computer with an IP address of 10.10.20.5 using a subnet mask of 255.255.192.0 pings a computer with an IP address of 10.10.10.5. What happens to the data packet?

a. The data packet is sent to the gateway.

b. The data packet is sent to 10.10.20.192.

c. The 10.10.10.5 is not in the same LAN; therefore, the data packet is sent out as a broadcast.

d. The data packet is sent to the 127.0.0.1 network.

e. None of the above

6. A host computer with an IP address of 192.168.12.5 using a /24 subnet mask pings a computer with an IP address of 192.168.12.102. What happens to the data packet?

a. The packet stays in the LAN.

b. The destination for the data packet is in the 192.168.12.12 subnet; therefore, the data packet is sent to the gateway.

c. The destination for the data packet is in the 192.168.0.0 subnet; therefore, the data packet is sent to the gateway.

d. The destination for the data packet is in the 192.168.0.1 subnet; therefore, the data packet is sent to the gateway.

e. None of the above

Answer 1

5)e

the first 18 bits are for hostid so   10.10.20.5 and  10.10.10.5 belongs to the same lan

6)e

the first 24 bits are for hostid so  192.168.12.5 and  192.168.12.102. belongs to the same lan
