You've decided to use a subnet mask of 255.255.192.0 with your 172.17.0.0 network to create four separate subnets. The network ID for one of the subnets is 172.17.0.0. You are installing the first host (a server) on this subnet and want to assign the lowest numbered IP address possible to this system. What should you do?

Assign the system an IP address of 172.17.0.1

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario you need to assign the system an IP address of 172.17.0.1. This is because since you want the lowest possible IP address and since there is a subnet with an IP of 172.17.0.0 then the next lowest address would be by adding 1 to the last digit making it 172.17.0.1
