Starting and ending IP addresses are to be excluded from the scope during creation.

Starting and ending IP addresses are to be excluded from the scope during creation.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

In IPv4 subnetting, the first address marks the network and the last marks the broadcast. Both are reserved and not assignable to hosts, so when you create a pool or scope of usable addresses, you exclude these endpoints. For example, in 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.1.0 is the network address and 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address; usable hosts are 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254. Therefore the statement is true. Not Applicable doesn’t fit because there is a standard rule about network and broadcast addresses, and Sometimes would be misleading since this isn’t conditional.
