The bits in the mask identify both hosts and subnets. The more hosts, the fewer subnets; the more subnets, the fewer hosts can be individually addressed. These bits become a tradeoff based on the ...

Subnetting and creating subnet masks is often outsourced to consultants, but doing it yourself can be both challenging and rewarding. In the IT world, specifically in networking, there aren’t many ...

To understand how subnetting works, you first must have a good basic understanding of IP addresses. An IP address is set of binary octets broken into quads. That definition may not have made any sense ...

Supernetting was created as a way to solve the problem of routing tables growing beyond our current ability to manage the exhaustion of Class B network address space. Much like one area code ...

Subnetting a Class C network can be a tricky process to master. From MCSE to CCNA to RHCE to CNE, you'll have to know it and know it well. Todd Lammle walks you through clear instructions and ...

The following summarizes how networks, subnetworks and hosts are identified in the TCP/IP protocol. An IP address is first divided between networks and hosts. The host bits are further divided between ...
