How many networks and nodes per network, are allowed by the Class B network?
Correct answer: B. 16,384 networks and 65,534 nodes per network
- A. 127 networks and 16,777,216 nodes per network
- B. 16,384 networks and 65,534 nodes per network
- C. 2,097,152 networks and 254 nodes per network
- D. All of the above
Explanation
A Class B address has 14 network bits and 16 host bits, giving 2^14 = 16,384 networks and 2^16 - 2 = 65,534 usable hosts per network. The subtraction excludes the network and broadcast addresses.
