Consider an enterprise network with two Ethernet segments, a web server and a firewall, connected via three routers as shown below.
What is the number of subnets inside the enterprise network?
Answer: C
There are 6 subnets.
Each router or firewall interface sits on its own subnet, so every separate link or segment between these devices is one subnet. Counting them in the figure:
- firewall to the lower-left router;
- firewall to the top router;
- top router to the web server;
- top router to the right router;
- the lower-left router's Ethernet segment;
- the right router's Ethernet segment.
The firewall's link to the Internet is outside the enterprise network, so it is not counted. 3 counts only the routers, 8 and 12 count interfaces or hosts rather than shared links.
