How many host addresses are available on the 192.168.10.128/26 network?
Answer: The prefix A/26 provides the total 6 bits that act as host, which offers 64 addresses because 64 is equal to 26 prefixes. by removing the broadcast and network addresses only 62 unstable hosts are available.
Networking is the combination of the computer and other devices that are interconnected to provide information and also share resources. to find the particular devices in the network a specific address is used, which is known as an IP address and it has two portions one is host address (host address locate the devices in the subnet) and other network address (it can locate the subnet which is used by the host address).
On the device, the IP address is allocated to interfaces, which are used to interconnect the devices with the network. The interfaces must have an exceptional IP address because in case of the same IP address of the two devices the network will not be established. Let’s take a look at the example to simplify the concept. in the network, the PC is named e1,e2 e3, and e4 with the same allocated IP address 2.2.2.2/8. if the e1 computer needs to send the packets to e4 and both have the same address so the destination is set as 2.2.2.2/8.
Now the packets will pass through all the PCs and the destinated address is checked to find whether the message is for them, and all of the devices have the same IP address that’s why they will consider the message is for them ans start the processing. when the e2 and e3 find the message is not for them they will discard it and send it to e4, the reply process is the same as well. The network in which a huge amount of data is processed, the process makes the network down, that is the reason why the IP address is unique for each device.
