Subnets

Question

Consider the following table with subnets

Subnet	Subnet Id	Subnet Mask
$ A$	150.60.160.0	255.255.240.0
$B $	150.60.164.0	255.255.252.0
$C $	150.160.168.0	255.255.252.0

 

Can we say subnet C exists inside subnet A?

Comments

No as their subnet id are different

Answer 1

No, we cannot say that subnet C exists inside subnet A.

Subnet A has a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0, which means it includes IP addresses from 150.60.160.1 to 150.60.175.254.

Subnet C, on the other hand, has a different network ID and subnet mask, and its IP addresses range from 150.160.168.1 to 150.160.171.254.

Therefore, subnet C is on a different network and does not fall within the range of IP addresses allocated to subnet A.
