C. 62
D. 126
Answer:C
What is the maximum number of hosts that can be addressed on a /27 subnet?
A. 14 B. 30 C. 62 D. 126
Explanation: A /27 subnet mask provides 32-27=5 bits for host addressing. This means that 2^5-2=30 host addresses can be used, but two addresses are reserved for the network address and the broadcast address, leaving 30-2=28 addresses available. Therefore, the maximum number of hosts that can be addressed on a /27 subnet is 28, which is less than 62, so the correct answer is C.
