Nokia Certified Network Associate (NCNA) — Question 7

How many subnets and host addresses are obtained by subnetting network 201.148.26.0/24 using a /26 subnet mask?

Answer options

• A. 4 subnets, 64 hosts per subnet
• B. 8 subnets, 32 hosts per subnet
• C. 4 subnets, 62 hosts per subnet
• D. 8 subnets, 30 hosts per subnet

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using a /26 subnet mask, the original /24 network is divided into 4 subnets, each capable of hosting 64 addresses (including network and broadcast addresses). Therefore, option A is correct, while the other options either miscalculate the number of subnets or the number of usable hosts by incorrectly applying the subnetting rules.
