What is the subnetwork number of a host with an IP address of 172.16.66.0/21?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A /21 is 255.255.248.0, which means we have a block size of 8 in the third octet, so we just count by 8 until we reach 66. The subnet in this question is 64.0. The next subnet is 72.0, so the broadcast address of the 64 subnet is 71.255.

There are 21 N/w bits and the given IP is a Class B IP so by default 16 bits are for n/w. Here 5 bits are used for subnetting from the third octet.
66: 01000010
Subbnet 11111000 Anding
-------------
01000000 = 64.
Therefore n/w id: 172.16.64.0.
