Given the IP segment 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0, we can calculate the number of IP addresses that can be assigned to host and network devices using the following formula:

Number of IP addresses=232−n−2

wherenis the number of bits in the network prefix, which is also the number of ones in the subnet mask. In this case, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, which in binary is 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore,n=24. Plugging this into the formula, we get:

Number of IP addresses=232−24−2=28−2=256−2=254

However, this number includes the network address (172.16.0.0) and the broadcast address (172.16.0.255), which cannot be assigned to host and network devices. Therefore, we need to subtract 2 more from the result, which gives us:

Number of IP addresses=254−2=252

This means that there are 252 IP addresses that can be assigned to host and network devices in the IP segment 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0. The answer option that is closest to this number is A, 126.

ARP is a protocol that maps an IP address to a MAC address, which is the physical address of a device on a network. ARP is necessary because the software address (IP address) of the host or computer connected to the network needs to be translated to a hardware address (MAC address). Without ARP, a host would not be able to figure out the hardware address of another host. ARP works by sending a broadcast message to all devices on the network, asking for the MAC address of the device that has a specific IP address. The device that has that IP address replies with its MAC address, and the sender stores this information in its ARP cache for future use. The sender then uses the MAC address as the destination address of the Layer 2 header that encapsulates the IP packet. The Layer 2 header is also known as the data link layer header, which is responsible for delivering the packet to the correct device on the same network. The Layer 3 header is also known as the network layer header, which is responsible for routing the packet to the correct network. Therefore, the correct answer is C, because ARP is used to discover the destination address of the Layer 2 header that encapsulates IP packets1234 References: What Is Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)? - Fortinet, Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) explained - Study-CCNA, Aruba Certified Network Technician Exam HPE3-U01 Actual Questions

The header in the exhibit belongs to the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is a transport layer protocol that provides connectionless and unreliable data delivery. UDP header consists of four fields: Source Port, Destination Port, Length, and Checksum. The Source Port and Destination Port fields identify the endpoints of the communication, and are 16 bits each. The Length field specifies the total length of the UDP datagram, including the header and the data, and is also 16 bits. The Checksum field is used to verify the integrity of the UDP datagram, and is optional in IPv4 but mandatory in IPv6. The Checksum field is also 16 bits.

The other options are incorrect because:

B. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is another transport layer protocol that provides connection-oriented and reliable data delivery. TCP header has more fields than UDP header, such as Sequence Number, Acknowledgment Number, Window Size, etc. TCP header is at least 20 bytes long, while UDP header is only 8 bytes long.

C. 802.11 Wi-Fi is a set of standards for wireless local area networks (WLANs). 802.11 Wi-Fi header is different from UDP header, as it contains fields such as Frame Control, Duration, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, etc. 802.11 Wi-Fi header is at least 24 bytes long, while UDP header is only 8 bytes long.

D. Ethernet Protocol is a data link layer protocol that defines the physical and logical characteristics of a wired network. Ethernet header is different from UDP header, as it contains fields such as Destination MAC Address, Source MAC Address, EtherType, etc. Ethernet header is 14 bytes long, while UDP header is 8 bytes long.

E. Internet Protocol (IP) is a network layer protocol that provides logical addressing and routing for data packets. IP header is different from UDP header, as it contains fields such as Version, Internet Header Length, Type of Service, Total Length, Identification, Flags, Fragment Offset, Time to Live, Protocol, Header Checksum, Source IP Address, Destination IP Address, etc. IP header is at least 20 bytes long, while UDP header is 8 bytes long. References:
