Tutorial: Working with subnets.

Subnet a network with a minimum amount of required hosts

For example we want 2000 hosts in a subnet of 192.168.X.Y.

Steps

First we need to know how many bit's we need for all our hosts:

Subnet a network with minimum amount of required subnets

This is the exact same method as I used for minimum required hosts. We want at least 10 subnet's.

Working with a subnet

Check if two IP-addresses belong to the same subnet

We can see the IP's do not belong to the same subnet because the network bits are not the same. (0001 vs 0010).
Everything before the " | " must be the same for both IP addresses.

Get the broadcast & network address from an IP & subnetmask

Which two IP addresses represent the network and broadcast addresses for the network that includes host 192.168.100.130/27?
