To enable RIP routing for a specific subnet, the configuration command network 172.16.64.32 was entered by the network administrator. What address, if any, appears in the running configuration file to identify this network? A)172.16.64.32 B)172.16.64.0 C)172.16.0.0 D)No address is displayed.
The correct answer is B) 172.16.64.0.
When the command “network 172.16.64.32” is entered in the RIP routing configuration, the address that appears in the running configuration file represents the network address, not the specific host address. In this case, the subnet mask for the given network is not specified, so the default subnet mask for a classful network is assumed. For a class B network, like 172.16.0.0, the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
To determine the network address, the subnet mask is applied to the IP address. In this case, applying the default subnet mask to the IP address of 172.16.64.32 results in a network address of 172.16.64.0. Therefore, in the running configuration file, the network address that appears to identify the network is 172.16.64.0.
