Match the IP address class to its default subnet mask.Group of answer choicesClass AClass BClass CClass DClass E

To match the IP address classes to their default subnet masks, we will look into the definitions and characteristics of each class:

1. Class A

   • Default Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0 (or /8)

2. Class B

   • Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (or /16)

3. Class C

   • Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

4. Class D

   • This class is used for multicast purposes and does not have a standard default subnet mask.

5. Class E

   • This class is reserved for experimental purposes and also does not have a standard default subnet mask.

Summary of IP Address Classes and Default Subnet Masks:

• Class A: 255.0.0.0
• Class B: 255.255.0.0
• Class C: 255.255.255.0
• Class D: No default subnet mask (multicast)
• Class E: No default subnet mask (reserved for experimental purposes)

In conclusion, Classes A, B, and C have default subnet masks, while Classes D and E do not have standard subnet masks as they serve specific purposes (multicast and experimental, respectively).
