200-301 · Question #820
An administrator is working with the 192.168.4.0 netwrok, which has been subnetted with a /26 mask. Which two addresses can be assigned to hosts within the same subnet? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. 192.168.4.67 E. 192.168.4.125. To identify valid host addresses within a 192.168.4.0 network subnetted with a /26 mask, one must determine the network and broadcast addresses for each subnet.

Why each option
To identify valid host addresses within a 192.168.4.0 network subnetted with a /26 mask, one must determine the network and broadcast addresses for each subnet.
The address 192.168.4.67 falls within the host range of the 192.168.4.64/26 subnet, which spans from 192.168.4.65 to 192.168.4.126. With a /26 mask, each subnet has 64 addresses, making the second subnet 192.168.4.64 (network) to 192.168.4.127 (broadcast).
192.168.4.61 is a valid host address but belongs to the first subnet (192.168.4.0/26), not the same subnet as options A and E.
192.168.4.128 is the network address for the third subnet (192.168.4.128/26) and cannot be assigned to a host.
192.168.4.132 is a valid host address but belongs to the third subnet (192.168.4.128/26), not the same subnet as options A and E.
The address 192.168.4.125 also falls within the host range of the 192.168.4.64/26 subnet (192.168.4.65 - 192.168.4.126). Both 192.168.4.67 and 192.168.4.125 are valid assignable host IP addresses within the same subnet.
192.168.4.63 is the broadcast address for the first subnet (192.168.4.0/26) and cannot be assigned to a host.
