CHINMAYA M Avatar CHINMAYA M  answered Xavier Antony Prabhaker Victor's question. 6 hours ago

An engineer creates a custom VPC (10.50.0.0/16) and an Internet Gateway (IGW). They immediately try to attach the IGW to a newly created subnet (10.50.1.0/24). Why does the AWS Management Console/CLI throw an error?

Step 1: Host bits

32 − 28 = 4

Step 2: Total IP addresses

(2^4 = 16)

Step 3: AWS reserved IPs

5 IP addresses.

Step 4: Usable IPs

16 − 5 = 11

Final Answer: 11 EC2 instance

A subnet mask determines the boundary that splits an IP address into distinct parts: the network portion and the host portion.
