4. You are given a task to create eight subnets on your LAN, and you have been assigned theaddress space 172.16.128.0/23. How many hosts will you have and what is the CIDRnotation for the new subnet’s address space?A. 2032 hosts on 172.16.128.0/24B. 240 hosts on 172.16.128.0/27C. 496 hosts on 172.16.128.0/26C. You need eight subnets, so you need 3 bits (111 binary = 8). Since the currentsubnet is using 23 bits, you would add 3 to that for your subnet, which is 26 bits, or/26.The remaining number of bits for hosts is 6. 26 – 2 = 62, and you have eight sub-nets, so 62 * 8 = 496.A, B, D. Answer A is incorrect because it provides only one more subnet. Answers Band D are incorrect because you were instructed to create eight subnets, and theseoptions create more than eight subnets.
