Question

Host X has IP address 192.168.1.97 and is connected through two routers R1 and R2 to another host Y with IP address 192.168.1.80. RouterR1 has IP addresses 192.168.1.135 and 192.168.1.110. R2 has IP addresses 192.168.1.67 and192.168.1.155.The network used in the network is 255.255.255.224.

Which IP address should X configure its gateway

• A. 192.168.1.110
• B. 192.168.1.67
• C. 192.168.1.135
• D. 192.168.1.155

Answer 1

The correct option is A 192.168.1.110


To connect host X to router $R_1$ subnet id of both should be same.
So,
$\begin{array}{ccc}\mathrm{192.168.1.97}& \mathrm{192.168.1.110}& \mathrm{192.168.1.135}\\ \mathrm{255.255.255.224}& \mathrm{255.255.255.224}& \mathrm{255.255.255.224}\\ \overline{\mathrm{192.168.1.96}}& \overline{\mathrm{192.168.1.96}}& \overline{\mathrm{192.168.1.128}}\end{array}$
So, IP address of X should configured as 192.168.1.110.
