|
Q10. Which of the following is reserved Class D address range meant for local network segment?
A. 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255
B. 224.0.0.0/24
C. 224.0.1.0 through 238.255.255.255
D. 239.0.0.0/8
Correct Answer:B
Explanation:
1. Class D address space used for IP Multicast. All IP Multicast-group addresses will fall in this range:
224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255
2. The addresses in the range 224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 are reserved for use by network protocols on a local network segment. Packets with these addresses should never be forwarded by a router. The time-to-live (TTL) for these packets is always set to a value 1 by the originating router, so that these packets never cross local segment.
3. The address range 239.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 are called Administratively Scoped Addresses and analogous to private addresses 10.0.0.0/8.
