CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 21

A network technician is reviewing switch ACLs to determine if they are causing communication issues with one PC. The PC's IP address is 192.168.12.66. Which of the following is the network range found in the ACL that could have affected this PC?

Answer options

• A. 192.168.12.97 255.255.255.192
• B. 192.168.12.97 255.255.255.224
• C. 192.168.12.97 255.255.255.240
• D. 192.168.12.97 255.255.255.248

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the subnet mask 255.255.255.192 allows for the IP address 192.168.12.66 to fall within the same subnet range as 192.168.12.97. The other options have subnet masks that create different ranges that do not include the PC's IP address.
