I have been practice testing this type of subnetting today, so here goes:
The network portion of the address is the first 23 bits as indicated by the subnet mask 255.255.254.0 or in binary 11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000.
the first address 113.10.4.0 we know 113.10 is a network portion of address by 255.255
so the 3rd octet needs to be analyzed since 3rd octet of mask is 254 as follows
binary
113.10. 00000100. 0
113.10. 0000010 | 0.00000000
^
this is the boundary btwn network and host.
to the right you see all zeros so this is a network address with no
host specified and can therefore not be assigned to a host.
the second address 186.54.3.0 analyze 3rd octet
186.54. 00000011. 0
186.54. 0000001 | 1.00000000
^
boundary - so the 1.00000000 to the right is a valid host of the
186.54.2.0 network
186.54.3.0 is therefore a valid host address
the third address 175.33.3.255 analyze 3rd octet
175.33. 00000011. 11111111
175.33. 0000001 | 1.11111111
^
boundary - here you see all ones to the right (host portion) which
is broadcast address for network 175.33.2.0 and
therefore 175.33.3.255 is NOT a valid host address.
the fourth address 26.35.2.255 analyze 3rd octet
26.35. 0000001 | 0.11111111
^
here 0.11111111 is a valid host address for network
26.35.2.0
the fifth address 17.35.36.0 check 3rd
17.35. 0010010 | 0.00000000
^
here all zeros to the right = 17.35.36.0 255.255.254.0 is a
network with no host specified
Not a valid host address
I hope this helps ------ study on!
