COM-407: Answer format for subnet portion and host portion

Hi,

Let's say I have an IPv4 address: 10.0.0.1/24 . When you ask me the subnet portion and the host portion of this IPv4 address, should I say 10.0.0 and .1, or 10.0.0. and 1, or 10.0.0.0/24 and 1, or something else?

I am mainly concerned that the auto grading system might be too rigid to understand all answers with "correct" semantics.

Cheers,

Tiannan

Hi,
I am not a TA, but I think simply writing 10.0.0 and 1 should suffice for your example.

Hope this helps.

Dear Tiannan,

Thank you for your question. For this question different versions are taken into consideration, but in the case of your example, semantics 10.0.0 and 1 are accepted semantics in Moodle.

Hope this answer your interrogation,

Best regards,
