17. A router uses the following routing table:

functions of osi

A packet bearing a destination address 144.16.68.117 arrives at the router. On which interface will it be forwarded?

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : Subnet address of interface = 144. 16 . 68 .0
    Subnet address of incoming IP
    = 144. 16. 68. 117 BITWISE AND 255.255.255.0
    = 144. 16. 68.0
    Both subnetwork addresses are same, so packet is forwarded to interface eth2

18. A subnetted Class B network has the following broadcast address : 144.16.95.255. Its subnet mask

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : For broadcast address of a subnet, all the host bits are set to 1.
    Broadcast address for subnet is
    .95.255 ---> .0101 1111. 1111 1111
    So, Possible host bits can be 13 to 0
    Hence could be any one of 255.255.224.0, 255.255.240.0, 255.255.248.0
