Question

The combination of _________ and __________ is often termed the local address of the local portion of the IP address.

(a) Network number and host number

(b) Network number and subnet number

(c) Subnet number and host number

(d) Host number

I got this question in examination.

My doubt stems from Analyzing Subnet Masks in chapter TCP/IP Protocol Suite of Computer Network

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Subnet number and host number

The best explanation: It is termed as the local address because the address won’t be applicable outside the subnet. Sub networking is implemented for remote sensing in transparent way from that host which is contained in the sub network which called a local operation.
