Review Questions Lab 4.1
1. When working with IP addresses and subnetting, why is it important to first identify
the class of address and the default subnet mask for that class?
2. What values can a multiplier be?
3. How do you find the multiplier?
4. Why must you subtract 2 from 2x when determining the number of hosts per subnet?
5. How do you know where to begin incrementing when determining subnet numbers?
6. When working with IP addresses, which addresses can never be assigned to a host?
7. How can you tell if an IP address is a network or subnetwork number if you write out
the address in binary?

The host portion will be all binary 0s.
8. How can you tell if an IP address is a broadcast address if you write out the address
in binary?
