how to tackle this route summarization qs?
#1
10.0.0.0
10.0.1.0
10.0.2.0
10.0.3.0

what is the most appropriate summarization for these routes?

a) 10.0.0.0/21
b) 10.0.0.0/22
c) 10.0.0.0/23
d) 10.0.0.0/24

Same answer I got and Im confident its correct.
My method:

    8      +    8    +6(common bits)      = /22
00001010.00000000.000000|00.00000000
00001010.00000000.000000|00.00000000
00001010.00000000.000000|01.00000000
00001010.00000000.000000|10.00000000
00001010.00000000.000000|11.00000000
    10      .      0    .    0        .    0      /22
 
So the first two octets are common between all 4 and are 8 bits each so 8+8 = 16
Also the 3rd octet has 6 bits in common with all 4 addresses as shown above, 16+6 = 22
so 10.0.0.0/22 is the answer

The faster way with no Binary Math is: This will blow your mind how easy it is.

1) Find the Block size to cover all of the networks in the 3rd octet= Networks 0,1,2,3 answer is 4 block size.
2) Now count on your fingers backwards: 128,64,32,16,8,4,  Should have 6 fingers sticking up.
3) How many common bits in the first 2 octets, 8+8= 16, Now add your like bits from your finger counting 16+6=22
4) Answer is 10.0.0.0/22
5) Again, no binary math and it all works from your 128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1 chart

For example: Summarize these networks?

172.16.16.0
172.16.17.0
................
................
172.16.25.0

1) What block size covers the all of the 3rd octets? Answer is 16
2) Count backwards on your fingers: 128,64,32,16
3) 4 fingers are up, added to the first 16bits. 8+8+4=20
4) Block size started at 16 so the answer is 172.16.16.0/20

@ Hondabuff

Could you use your method on

10.1.2.0
10.1.7.0
10.1.9.0

Do you have to count block from subnet boundary?

opps..

block that covers meaning > than not = to.

thanks.

10.1.{0-8 not enough because of the 9, 0-16 will cover all of  0-2-9-16} .0 All routes from 1-15 will be included because of the overage.
Technically it would be considered a poorly designed network.

0-8, 0-16, 0-32, looks like all we need is 16 places to cover them all. We will be wasting places because the 10.1.9.0 is in the next block of 8.
So a summarized network of 10.1.0.0/20. A block size of 16 is a 240 mask.
The 10.1 make up 16 bits allready and 240 mask uses 4 bits. 16+4=/20
