SUBNETTING

DEFINITION –
When a bigger network is divided into smaller networks, to maintain security,
then that is known as subnetting. So, maintenance is easier for smaller
networks. For example, if we consider a class a address, the possible number of
hosts is 224 for each network, it is obvious that it is difficult to maintain such a
huge number of hosts, but it would be quite easier to maintain if we divide the
network into small parts.

TYPES OF SUBNETS –
CLASS A – 0 TO 127 NAT – 8 HOST – 16
CLASS B – 128 TO 190 NAT – 16 HOST - 16
CLASS C – 191 TO 223 NAT – 24 HOST - 8
CLASS D – 224 TO 240 NO NAT & HOST
CLASS E – 241 TO 255 NO NAT & HOST
