Question: Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address?

• 192.168.1.64/26
• 192.168.1.32/27
• 192.168.1.32/28
• 192.168.1.64/29

Answer:

• 192.168.1.64/26

Here’s Why?

The subnet that would encompass the IP address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address is 192.168.1.64/26.

In the CIDR notation, 192.168.1.64/26 signifies that the initial 26 bits are designated for the network address, leaving the remaining 6 bits for host addresses.

The range of host addresses within the subnet 192.168.1.64/26 extends from 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. The IP address 192.168.1.96 falls within this range, confirming its status as a usable host address in this subnet.

Please note the following details about this subnet:

• 192.168.1.64 is the network address
• 192.168.1.127 is the broadcast address
• 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126 are the usable host addresses

Therefore, the correct answer is: 192.168.1.64/26
