I think it depends on the question. I've found that most exams will give a little hint, either the answer doesn't support both choices or the question will have some comment of suitability of subnets.
if I had to choose though, I'd choose 2^6-2, since it wasn't till 12.0 that the ip-subnet zero was made default and the tests were written prior to that. scott ""Geert Nijs"" wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hello, > > When you are asked for the number of subnets in the exam CCNA 640-607: > > ie. 150.10.10.10 255.255.255.252.0 > > -> subnet bits = 6 > > -> supported subnets: 2^6 or 2^6-2 ?? > > In other words: if noting is mentioned in the question, do I have to > count zero-subnet and broadcast subnet as valid ? or invalid ? > when nothing is mentioned..... > > > Geert Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65241&t=65234 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
