Problem-02:
Database Management System

Computer Networks
A device has two or more IP Addresses, the device is called-
Operating System
1. Workstation
Computer Organization & Architecture
2. Router
Data Structures
3. Gateway
Theory of Automata & Computation
4. All of these
Compiler Design

Graph Theory

Design & Analysis of Algorithms

Solution-
Digital Design

Number System All the given devices have a network layer.

So, they will have at least one IP Address.
Discrete Mathematics

B.Tech Subjects In TCP/IP suite-

Computer Graphics Workstation and gateway have all the 5 layers.

Machine Learning Router has only 3 layers last layer being network layer.

Artificial Intelligence

Pattern Recognition Workstation-

Software Engineering

A user may configure more than one IP Addresses in his workstation / computer.
With more than one IP Address, it remains present in more than one networks.
So, if one network goes down, it is always reachable from other networks.

The following figure shows a host present in more than one networks-

It is important to note that IP Addresses are assigned to interfaces.

When we buy a new laptop, we usually get 2-3 interfaces.
Thus, a workstation can have more than one IP Addresses.

Router-

A router may be connected to various interfaces.

Each interface has a unique IP Address.
Thus, a router may also have more than IP Addresses.
Similar is the case with gateways because gateways are extension of routers.

Thus, Option (D) is correct.

Problem-03:

A host with IP Address 200.100.1.1 wants to send a packet to all the hosts in the same network.

What will be-

1. Source IP Address
2. Destination IP Address

Solution-
 1. Source IP Address = IP Address of the sender = 200.100.1.1
2. Destination IP Address = Limited Broadcast Address = 255.255.255.255

Problem-04:

A host with IP Address 10.100.100.100 wants to use loop back testing.

What will be-

1. Source IP Address
2. Destination IP Address

Solution-

Source IP Address = 10.100.100.100

Destination IP Address = Loopback Testing Address = 127.0.0.1

Problem-05:

How many bits are allocated for Network ID and Host ID in 23.192.157.234 address?

Solution-

Given IP Address belongs to class A.

Thus,

Number of bits reserved for Network ID = 8

Number of bits reserved for Host ID = 24

Problem-06:

Which devices can use logical addressing system?

1. Hub
2. Switch
3. Bridge
4. Router

Solution-

Devices which have network layer as the last layer can only use logical addressing system.
Devices which have data link layer as the last layer can only use physical addressing system.
IP Addresses are the logical addresses and MAC Addresses are the physical addresses.

Option-A:

Hub can neither use physical addressing system nor logical addressing system.
This is because it has physical layer as the last layer.

Option-B:

Switch can use physical addressing system but not logical addressing system.
This is because it has data link layer as the last layer.

Option-C:

Bridge can use physical addressing system but not logical addressing system
 Bridge can use physical addressing system but not logical addressing system.
This is because it has data link layer as the last layer.

Option-D:

Router can use physical addressing system as well as logical addressing system.
This is because it has network layer as the last layer.

Thus, option (D) is correct.

Problem-07:

What is the network ID of the IP Address 230.100.123.70?

Solution-

Given IP Address belongs to class D.

Class D IP Addresses are not divided into the Network ID and Host ID parts.
Thus, there is no network ID for the given IP Address.

Problem-08:

Match the following-

Column-I:

1. 200.10.192.100
2. 7.10.230.1
3. 128.1.1.254
4. 255.255.255.255
5. 100.255.255.255

Column-II:

1. Class A
2. Limited Broadcast Address
3. Direct Broadcast Address
4. Class C
5. Class B

Solution-

(I, D), (II, A), (III, E), (IV, B), (V, C)

Problem-09:

Suppose that instead of using 16 bits for network part of a class B Address, 20 bits have been used. How
many class B networks would have been possible?

Solution-

Total 20 bits are used for Network ID of class B.

The first two bits are always set to 10.

Then, with 18 bits, number of networks possible = 218

 Problem-10:

What is the default mask for 192.0.46.10?

Solution-

Given IP Address belongs to class C.

For class C, default mask = 255.255.255.0
