    Q1. A device is configured with an IP address of 172.16.1.100 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. What is the network ID?

    • A) 172.16.0.0
    • B) 172.16.1.0
    • C) 172.16.1.100
    • D) 172.16.255.0

    Answer: 172.16.1.0

    Explanation: The network ID is obtained by performing a bitwise AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask. For 172.16.1.100 (10101100.00010000.00000001.01100100) and 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000), the result is 172.16.1.0.
