License? Where do you get this? In a Class B network there are 2 to the 16th power addresses. Class B = 255.255.0.0 65536 addresses In a Class A network there are 2 to the 24th power addresses Class A = 255.0.0.0 16,777,216 addresses In a class C network there are 2 to the 8th power addresses Class C = 255.255.255.0 256 addresses Class A around 16 million Class B around 65,000 Class C is actually 254 NOT 256.

A firm needs 300 IP addresses What type of classful address range is it likely to get?

Classful addresses are no longer given out. Traditionally, this would require a Class B network, since it has a large enough range. A Class C network only has 256 addresses, but two adjacent Class C addresses would also work.Classful addresses are no longer given out.

Which ipv4 contains a first octet in range of 128 to 191?

An IPv4 address with a first octet in the range of 128 to 191 falls within the Class B network range.
