If you look at 127.0.0.0 in binary, it's a class A. Simon Yang (ITeX) wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... We know that 127.0.0.1 is for loopback.

Re: Subnet mask question..
This is a matter of how the question was phrased. If a class B address had 11 bits of subnetting, then the mask is 255.255.255.224. Why? Because a class B address has NO bits of subnetting to begin with. You take the binary, ..., and to that you add 11 bits, and you'll get: ...1110 or 255.255.255.224. Does this help?

Re: Subnet mask question..
Brian, I hate the way these tests word their questions sometimes. Why don't they just state the mask as it should be -contiguous bits left to right(except for wildcard masks ofcourse). If they are going to state the subnet portion is stealing 11 bits from the host portion of the address why don't they just state that. You are exactly right though a /11 subnet mask is 255.224.0.0 Don't let these silly tests screw you up. I think sometimes they try to impress a point and screw things up. I don't think Cisco is in the business to have you memorize wrong information. (If you know subnetting in the real world, you will pass their test questions regarding these issues ~~I would read Cisco's ACRC book and practice their examples, there is also a great section on 3com's website on subnetting I highly reccomend). There are 3 portions of the address (network,subnet,and host)and the subnet portion is using 11 host bits to subdivide this class b network. The subnet mask would be /27 or 255.255.255.224not /11.

Re: Subnet mask question..
The easiest thing in the world to do is just memorize the subnet table. If you do this, then just write out the table when you sit down to take the test (before you start the test). This way, you're not wasting time figuring it out. It's right in front of you. The table is very easy to memorize and will come in handy for the rest of your career, not just in testing. here's the link: http://www.gdd.net/cisco/ Then just click on "Subnet Cheat Sheet" But I agree, the questions are a bit misleading sometimes.

RE: Subnet mask question..
Well 11 bits of subnetting is : 255.255.255.224 Class B subnet is always 255.255.x.x so 11 bits of subnetting means after the first 2 255's you got 11 bits of subnetting. Wich is another 255 and then 3 bits of the host adress wich comes to 224. So there you got your 255.255.255.224 subnet mask. So your addresses can be : 172.16.3.33 to 172.16.3.62 ! Your first address starts with 32 .. but thats the network address so cant be used .. so 33 is the first you can use. Your next subnet starts with 64 .. So 63 will be your last host you can use. But in this case 63 is your broadcast address. So 62 is the last host you can use !

RE: Subnet mask question..
The answer is in the question. They say an 11 bit SUBNET MASK. So the natural mask is as you say class B which = 255.255.0.0 hence you then have an eleven bit SUBNET mask. Which is 255.255.255.224 as you say.
