What is the maximum number of hosts you can use for each subnet that belongs to a class C address?
A. 128
B. 254
C. 256
D. 65,534
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Section Reference: Categorizing IPv4 Addresses
Explanation: A class C has 8 bits left for hosts. Therefore, 2^8 is equal to 256. But since you cannot use all 0s (network address) and all 1s (broadcast address), a class C will only support up to 254 hosts.
Ans B. 254
