Huawei Certified Network Professional - Routing Switching Fast Track Exam - Question 14


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

Show Answer
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.

Nope, this answer is correct, since you can create subnet up to /30 which holds two valid IP addresses.
