INFORMATION SHEET 1: Subnetting

Purpose of subnetting:
1. Relieve network congestion
2. Improve network performance
3. Improve security

Subnet mask- defines a range of IP Address that can be used in a network.

Subnets- Partition of multuple networks

Example of subnetting:

For the IP Address 192.168.10.0 /27, Provide the following:

No. of Subnets:_____________
No. Of Hosts: __________
Network increment
Network ID
Broadcast ID

/27- represents the subnet mask, and convert it to binary

/27 = 1111 1111 . 1111 1111 . 1111 1111 . 1110 0000 = if you going to count all ones is equal to 27, and so the value

in numeric is equal to 255.255.255.224

#bitson
To get the # of subnets, the formula is 2 raise to number of bits on= 2
No. Of bits on = 3 No. Of bits Off=5
#bitson 3
# of Subnets = 2 =2 =8
#bitsoff 5
To get the # of Hosts the formula is 2 - 2= 2 - 2= 30
To get the network increment= 256 - N. N is equal to the value of the last octet which is 224
Network increment=256-224 = 32

Now in order to get the Network ID just add 32 on the last octet
Base on the IP Address 192.168.10.0 add 32 on the last octet
Network ID
192.168.10.0 1
192.168.10.32 2
192.168.10.64 3
192.168.10.96 4
192.168.10.128 5
192.168.10.160 6
192.168.10.192 7
192.168.10.224 8
For the Broadcast ID it is an IP address that comes before the Network ID,

Broadcast ID
192.168.10.31 1
192.168.10.63 2
192.168.10.95 3
192.168.10.127 4
192.168.10.159 5
192.168.10.191 6
192.168.10.223 7
192.168.10.255 8
Base on the examaple the number of subnets is equal to 8 so therefore the network ID and Broadcast ID is also equal
to 8.

forget to write/type your name.

Base on the IP Address 196.20.20.0 /29

Provide the following:
No. of Subnets:_____________
No. Of Hosts: __________
Network increment
Network ID
Broadcast ID
