CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 360

An organization will be deploying a web application in a public cloud with two web servers, two database servers, and a load balancer that is accessible over a single public IP. Taking into account the gateway for this subnet and the potential to add two more web servers, which of the following will meet the minimum IP requirement?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a /28 subnet provides 16 IP addresses, which is sufficient for the existing servers (4 total) and allows for the addition of 2 more web servers, totaling 6. Options A and B provide more addresses than necessary, while option D only offers 6 usable IPs, which is inadequate for the current and future needs.
