Chapter 10, Problem 1RQ
Program Description Answer

24 bits are required for Class A IP address for host information.

Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

24 bits:

  • The total bits allotted for addressing Class A, B, and C is 32 bits.
  • For Class A IP address, 8 bits are allotted for network ID bits and 24 bits for the host information.
  • Therefore, the total bits allotted for Class A IP address for host information is 24 bits.

Explanation for incorrect options:

8 bits:

8 bits of a Class A IP address not used for host information.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

16 bits:

16 bits of a Class A IP address not used for host information.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

32 bits:

32 bits of a Class A IP address not used for host information.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
