Assume a client computer on this subnetwork wishes to send a message to another computer with the IP address 141.165.100.211. What IP address on the subnetwork would receive the message for routing out of the subnetwork?

To determine which IP address on the subnetwork would receive the message for routing out of the subnetwork, we need to know the subnet information, such as the subnet mask or the range of IP addresses allocated to that subnetwork. This information is crucial for understanding how the subnetwork is segmented and for identifying the gateway address, which is typically the router's IP in that subnetwork.

Assuming that the subnetwork has a classful addressing system (for example, Class A, B, or C addressing), we can make educated guesses based on typical subnet ranges:

  1. Class A (i.e., 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255): Default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0
  2. Class B (i.e., 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255): Default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
  3. Class C (i.e., 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255): Default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

If we assume the subnetwork is determined based on a private or public address range, we would usually need the subnet mask to provide a specific IP address for routing out of the subnetwork.

Example

  • If the client computer is on a network like 141.165.100.0/24 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0), the default gateway (or the routing IP) might typically be 141.165.100.1.
  • If on a different subnet, it might vary based on the specific setup.

Without details about the subnetwork, we can't definitively provide the routing IP address.

If you provide the subnet mask or more details about the subnetwork, I would be able to give you the exact IP address that would receive the message for routing. Please provide either the subnet information or choose from the provided options if available.
