The correct answer is D

Given the IP address and subnet mask, the 3rd byte is being used
for subnetting.  To match subnets 8 - 15 start with the IP address
172.16.8.0 and mask out the 3 low order bits in the 3rd byte and then
mask out the entire 4th byte resulting in a wildcard mask of 0.0.7.255.

To Find Wildcard Mask, Take the HIGHER minus the Lower:

                172.016.015.255
               -172.016.008.000
wildcard   000.000.007.255

Hello ALL,

I found this question on a test from Boson and didn´t agree with their
answer. Which you you think it´s the correct answer for it??

Given the IP address 172.16.8.0 255.255.255.0, what is the wildcard
mask that will match subnets 172.16.8.0 - 172.16.15.0 and all the
hosts on the subnets?

A.)  0.0.7.0
B.)  0.0.0.127
C.)  0.0.255.255
D.)  0.0.7.255
E.)  0.0.0.64
F.)  0.0.0.7


I´ll give you their answer in a later message.

Thanks,
