Given a subnet address of 10.1.129.0/25, what is the broadcast address?

Given a subnet address of 10.1.129.0/25, what is the broadcast address?

  • 10.1.129.25
  • 10.1.129.127
  • 10.255.255.255
  • 10.1.129.255 


EXPLANATION

If we look at the address and subnet mask in binary, we can see the following:
0000 1010 . 0000 0001 . 1000 0001 . 0000 0000
1111  1111 . 1111 1111  . 1111 1111  . 1000 0000
Looking at the last octet, we can see that there are 7 binary zeros. These indicate that we have 7 host bits. When you change all of those bits to ones, you end up with:



 0000 1010 . 0000 0001 . 1000 0001 . 0111 1111
Converting back to decimal, we get:
10.1.129.127.

What is the database design process used to increase integrity and reduce redundancy of data?

  • Relational Design
  • Data Constraints
  • Error Handling
  • Normalization


EXPLANATION

This process is used to create the Entity Relationship Diagrams necessary to design a database. Each level of normalization is a new "normal form". Typically databases use 3NF or 4NF.
The higher the normal form the more relational your database will be.
