Subnet Tutorials: Broadcast Valid Host Range Class B

Subnet, Broadcast, Valid Host Range:Class C

Example 1:

Calculate Subnet, Broadcast, Valid Host Range of 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.128(/25).

Solution

Class C addresses use a default mask of 255.255.255.0.
Given subnet mask = 255.255.255.128
                  = 255. 255. 255. 10000000
Subnets = 2^1 = 2.
Hosts = 2^7 – 2 = 126.
Block Size = 2^7 = 128.
Valid subnets = 256 – 128 = 128, means we have a block size of
128 in the forth octet.
Subnets are 0, 128.
Address 0 falls in the 0 subnet.
Subnet = 192. 168. 10. 0
The subnets would be 192.168.10.0, 192.168.10.128.
