Question 14

What is the maximum bits of a Class B address can be used for subnet?

    Correct Answer: D

    In a Class B address, 16 bits are allocated for the host portion of the address, leaving the remaining 16 bits for the network portion. When creating subnets, it is possible to borrow up to 14 bits from the host portion (16 bits total minus the 2 bits used for subnetting), allowing for a maximum of 22 bits to be used for subnetting.
