CV0-003 · Question #938

A company is moving its entire infrastructure to the cloud. The infrastructure consists of: 100 virtual desktops 10 database servers 10 web servers 15 application servers 15 development servers 7 VDI

The correct answer is A. VDI: /25. Properly subnetting a /24 requires allocating subnet sizes that accommodate the largest isolated host groups first, with 100 virtual desktops requiring at least a /25.

Question

A company is moving its entire infrastructure to the cloud. The infrastructure consists of:

100 virtual desktops 10 database servers 10 web servers 15 application servers 15 development servers 7 VDI servers Each server, except for web, application, and database servers, needs to be on an isolated subnet. The CSP has allocated a /24 subnet. Which of the following would best divide the IP space to meet these requirements?

Options

  • AVDI: /25
  • BVDI: /25
  • CVDI: /25
  • DVDI: /26

Why each option

Properly subnetting a /24 requires allocating subnet sizes that accommodate the largest isolated host groups first, with 100 virtual desktops requiring at least a /25.

AVDI: /25Correct

A /25 provides 126 usable addresses, the minimum subnet that fits the 100 virtual desktops on their required isolated subnet. Allocating VDI a /25 correctly reserves enough address space for that group, while the remaining smaller server groups receive appropriately sized subnets that fit within the overall /24, satisfying both the host-count and isolation requirements.

BVDI: /25

Although this option also starts with VDI: /25, the subnet allocations assigned to the remaining server groups do not correctly fit all required host counts within the /24 address space.

CVDI: /25

This option's subnet allocations for other server groups result in overlapping ranges or incorrectly sized subnets that fail to satisfy the isolation and host-count requirements.

DVDI: /26

A /26 provides only 62 usable addresses for VDI, which misaligns subnet boundaries and causes subsequent subnet ranges to overflow the /24 or fail to accommodate the required number of hosts.
