This answer seems to me to be wrong. What do others think?
There are 3 routers connected via serial links. The routers have 27 hosts, 17 hosts and the one we are looking at has 13 hosts. The question is which address should the fast ethernet address have.
We are subnetting on 192.168.1.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.224
That's ok so far, but is says we are using RIP1. How would that work with a subnet of 224. Surely it would not see the subnetted bits if using RIP1?
The answer I find even more strange. Options are:
xx.xx.xx.64
xx.xx.xx.192
xx.xx.xx.190
xx.xx.xx.31
xx.xx.xx.127
I went for 64 as 192 seemed less correct.
The answer was 190, because all the others are either broadcasts or subnets. But if we are looking for a fast ethernet port from a router with a number of hosts, it would be subnet address surely no?
