You should write the binary equivalent of mask and find which combination of ones and zeros are allowed.Ģ. For a /26 you can getįour networks (0 – 63 64 – 127 128 – 191 and 192 – 255 (and I didn't use the number 256 because I started at zero - the modulus (value of 256) comes from zero to 255).ġ. Don't slip and think that the number of networks you can get is the bit value- it just works out that way with /28. If you want to know how many of these 16-bit networks we can get out of that third octet, divide 256 by 16. Remember the 2ⁿ-2 formula - it is the bit value minus 2 (one for network and one for broadcast address or subnet mask) equals the number you can use for hosts. Going back to our question of valid hosts in the 192.168.30.7/28 range they would be:Īnd if you counted them up you would see there are 14 of them. That means that the hosts must fall in the range of 177 – 187 (one after 176 and one before 188).

We are breaking down that 256 block so we can't use the full 256 subnet, only the portion blocking our network). We know that the first number is the network address (192.168.30.176) and the last number is the broadcast address (255.255.255.188 - remember Then add 16 to 176Īnd you will get the first address of the next subnet (192). Then multiply 11 times 16 to see the first address in that subnet - 176. 7 you would divide 189 by 16 and see that it was over 11.

In this case we don't have to because we can see it is less than 16 but if you are given. Then take a look at the last octet (since 28 puts us in the last octet range) and divide it by 16.

If you are asked for valid hosts in the 192.168.30.7/28 range you start out by counting off the chart to see the numerical value for the 28th bit. Like Milos said you need to look at it from binary You have to subtract the first number (network ID) and the last number (broadcast). Remember, that in a Class C address, these are not all usable. What is the increment for subnet ranges in a 240 subnet mask? The organization has chosen to use 255.255.255.240. You are the network administrator for a small organization that has decided to switch the company’s TCP/IP subnet mask. Out the answer for this question in an examination? I do not completely understand the explaination it gives. To illustrate my problem about these points, please could you consider the following chapter review question and explain how we would work Please could you also explain how we would know that the 6 Ranges to which reference is made, would be in increments of 32? Please could you explain how we know how many Subnets there are in a Subnet Mask value? To get “32”, subtract the next “Subnet Mask Number” of “192” from our above example ofģ) “the 6 Ranges are in increments of 32”: Text book explains Table 7.4 using the same example of:īecause “224” allows for 6 “Subnets”, the 6 “Ranges” are in increments There should be 6 “TCP/IP Ranges” that go with the 6 “Subnets”.įollowing Table shows the different “Ranges” (aka “Increments”) for the different “Subnet Masks”. “Subnet Mask” also breaks down the “Ranges” (aka “Increments”) of the network. “Subnet Mask” specifies the Network Ranges – Understanding Network Ranges This is the relevant extract from the notes I have made from the text book: It seems to me that my text book does not fully explain Subnets, their Ranges, and Increments.
