# CV0-003 — Question 427

**Type:** multiple_choice
**Topics:** topic_1

## Question

An organization will be deploying a web application in a public cloud with two web servers, two database servers, and a load balancer that is accessible over a single public IP. Taking into account the gateway for this subnet and the potential to add two more web servers, which of the following will meet the minimum IP requirement?

## Correct Answer

_See scenario._

## Explanation

Selected Answer: C
Some of you guys are going to fail your Net+ or anything else network related. Here's the proper breakout. C is indeed correct, but some of these comments are just terrible and no one has laid it out, so here it is:

1 - gateway (this will be our public IP but will have internal as well as all gateways always do!)
2 - load balancer
3 - web server #1
4 - web server #2
5 - database server
6 - database server
7 - new webserver #1
8 - new web server #2
9 - broadcast IP

Our /28 is going to provide a maximum of 16 IPs which will cover the 9 addresses needed for current and future expansion.
