Class A subnetting is a form of network addressing typically reserved for the government and larger institutions. It can have a large number of unique nodes, which can prove quite a challenge.

This makes our subnet mask for the entire network 255.255.255.224. How did I come up with this? The positional notation values for the first three bits of our final octet, when added together, equal ...

The host bits are further divided between subnets and hosts. See subnet mask and subnet. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires permission.

However, it is the most difficult mask to figure out the valid hosts for. Example 6: The Class B 255.255.255.128 subnet mask: The thing to remember is that for every subnet in the third octet ...

The new subnet mask is 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000. Borrowing Table 9 from an earlier article and revising it to show the borrowing, here’s the new fourth octet: The first bit in the fourth ...
