Consider the following statements regarding Superneting and subneting:

  • (I) In Superneting, supernet bits are borrowed from the host bits to divide networks into the small networks as per requirement of the user.
  • (II) In Subnetting, subnet bits are borrowed from the network bits to join the two or more networks for efficient utilization of IP address.

Which of the following option(s) is/are correct?
(A) Statement I
(B) Statement II
(C) Both Statement (I) and (II) are correct
(D) Neither Statement (I) nor (II) is correct


Answer: (D)

Explanation: Statement (I) is not correct, because in Superneeting, supernet bits are borrowed from the network bits to join two or more networks as per the user\’s requirement.

Statement (II) is also not correct because in Subnetting, subnet bits are borrowed from the host bits to divide a large network into small networks.

So, Option (D) is correct.
