Understanding Network Addressing: Finding the Network Address for 172.16.64.32

To enable RIPv1 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?

In the running configuration file, the address that would appear to identify the network 172.16.64.32 is the network address itself in its binary format.

The network address is obtained by applying a logical AND operation between the IP address and its corresponding subnet mask.

To find the network address for the given IP address 172.16.64.32, we need to know the subnet mask associated with it. Based on the information provided, it is not clear what the subnet mask is. However, assuming a default class C subnet mask of /24 (255.255.255.0), the network address can be calculated as follows:

IP address: 172.16.64.32 10101100.00010000.01000000.00100000
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000

Applying the logical AND operation, we get:

Network address: 172.16.64.0 10101100.00010000.01000000.00000000

Therefore, the network address that would appear in the running configuration file for the enabled RIPv1 routing of the subnet 172.16.64.32 would be “172.16.64.0”.
