Secure Network Administrationadvanced
Match each network or summary with the range or role described in the material.
Answer
`192.168.144.0/20` - Covers third-octet values 144 through 159, `10.1.0.0/16` - A broad advertisement that covers the four listed `10.1.100.0/24` through `10.1.103.0/24` networks, `10.1.100.0/22` - The smallest aligned summary for the four contiguous listed `/24` networks, `10.0.0.0/8` - Suggested starting address space for a large or complex design
Explanation
### Why this is right
Each match connects the prefix to its range or planning role. A `/20` advances in blocks of 16 in the third octet, the `/16` covers all addresses sharing the first two octets, and the `/22` is the aligned block for four adjacent `/24` networks.
### The pairs
| Item | Matches | Why |
|---|---|---|
| `192.168.144.0/20` | Covers third-octet values 144 through 159 | A `/20` has a 16-value block at this boundary, beginning at 144. |
| `10.1.0.0/16` | A broad advertisement that covers the four listed `10.1.100.0/24` through `10.1.103.0/24` networks | The first two octets match, so all four `/24` networks fall within it. |
| `10.1.100.0/22` | The smallest aligned summary for the four contiguous listed `/24` networks | One `/22` covers four `/24` blocks, from third-octet 100 through 103. |
| `10.0.0.0/8` | Suggested starting address space for a large or complex design | The material recommends it as a starting point for such designs. |
### Terms
- **IP**: Internet Protocol. The addressing system used to route packets.
### Remember
Read a prefix together with its starting address to determine what range it covers.
