Expert Solution & Answer
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.
