CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 65

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

• A. 192.168.1.0/26
• B. 192.168.1.0/27
• C. 192.168.1.0/28
• D. 192.168.1.0/29

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, 192.168.1.0/27, because it provides 32 addresses, which is sufficient for the four servers and the load balancer, along with the potential for two more web servers. Option A provides more addresses than necessary, while options C and D do not offer enough IP addresses to accommodate the current and additional servers.
