HOTSPOT
-

You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named Vnet1. Vnet1 has a /24 IPv4 address space.

You need to subdivide Vnet1. The solution must maximize the number of usable subnets.

What is the maximum number of IPv4 subnets you can create, and how many usable IP addresses will be available per subnet? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct. Using a /24 will give us 256 IPs. Now, In azure we can create a minimum subnet of /29 which gives us 8 IPs per subnet. Dividing 256/8 we get 32 thus we can have 32 IPv4 subnets. Out of each these subnets 5 IP from them will be used by azure so number of usable IP in each subnet is 3.

Yes Answer is correct it is 3 IPs and 32 Subnets as smallest subnet in Azure is /29 dues to 5 reserved IPs out of any subnet and largest is /2 - example here from MS Are there any restrictions on using IP addresses within these subnets? Yes. Azure reserves the first four and last IP address for a total of 5 IP addresses within each subnet. For example, the IP address range of 192.168.1.0/24 has the following reserved addresses: 192.168.1.0 : Network address 192.168.1.1 : Reserved by Azure for the default gateway 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3 : Reserved by Azure to map the Azure DNS IPs to the VNet space 192.168.1.255 : Network broadcast address.

Correct For visualization (and doing some subnet planning) use tools like https://blog.pichuang.com.tw/azure-subnets.html and start dividing your /24 network into the smallest possible.

Correct. /24 gives you 256 ip addresses. Divide that by 32 is 8. Take off 5 ip addresses that azure reserves gives 3 usable ip`'s

Answer is correct. Azure can allow a minimum mask of /29, which gives you 6 usable IP's and Azure reserves the first 3 which leaves you with 3 IP's. You can have 32 /29 from a /24. This does require some networking subnetting skill. Hop on to --> https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/subnet-cheat-sheet-24-subnet-mask-30-26-27-29-and-other-ip-address-cidr-network-references/

a VNet with a /24 ip space can be splitted to multiple /29 subnets. So it's 32 /29 subnets for a /24 VNet. /29 have 6 Hosts IP Free, but Azure reserve the 4 first IP addresses so you have only 2 usable Addresses. That's also why you cannot split to /30 subnets (not enought IP addresses per subnet for Azure). So the answer is 32 and 2. (https://jodies.de/ipcalc?host=192.168.0.1&mask1=24&mask2=29)

Sorry Azure reserves only firsts 3 IP Addresses (5 if you count the Network and Broadcast IP) (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-faq) So the answer is well 32 and 30

Azure Reserves 3 addresses for itself. The first and last are the network address and the broadcast Total 5 addresses. Hence the minimum mask /29. Amount of a Class C 32
