Find+the+Number+of+Subnets+ +the+number

The document discusses finding the number of subnets and valid hosts per subnet by identifying the IP address class, converting the subnet mask to bits, and applying the relevant formulas. An example is provided for the IP address 192.168.1.0/28 that identifies it as a Class C address and calculates 16 subnets and 14 valid hosts.

Finding the Number of Subnets & the

Number of Valid Hosts per Subnet


IP Address Classifications
Subnet Mask Range
Formula to determine the number of
Subnets:
2^ # of subnet bits
Formula to determine the number of
valid Hosts:
2^ # of host bits -2
Example:
Find the number of bits and valid
host.
IP Address:192.168.1.0 /28
Steps:
Subnet
• Identify theMask: 255.255.255.240
type of IP Address in a
network
• Convert the Subnet Mask into bits
• Apply the formula to identify the
number of bits and valid hosts
Solution:
Identify the type of IP Address in a network
 192.168.1.0 is a Class C IP Address
Convert the Subnet Mask into bits Subnets Hosts

11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000
Apply the formula to identify the number of
bits and valid hosts
Subnets = 24
= 16
Hosts = 24 - 2
= 14
Example:
Find the number of bits and valid
host.
IP Address:150.150.0.0 /30
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
Steps:
• Identify the type of IP Address in a
network
• Convert the Subnet Mask into bits
• Apply the formula to identify the
number of bits and valid hosts
Exercises:
Find the number of bits and valid
host of the following IP address.
1. 192.168.4.0 /24
2. 16.1.1.1 /7
3. 172.168.0.0 /19
4. 110.8.67.101 /15
5. 10.10.10.0 /22
