Subnetting Calculation

Image
Subnetting allows creat ing smaller network (sub networks or subnets) inside a large network  by borrowing bits from the Host ID portion of the address. The borrowed bits can be used to create additional networks, resulting in smaller-sized networks. This can help to reduce wastage, improve network performance, effective isolation and easier administration. A subnet mask is the representation of the network portion of an address . It is also made up of 32 bits with all the bits that represent the network portion being marked as 1s and the other parts marked as 0s. For a  Class C IPv4 address , the first three octets are used to represent the network part and the last octet is used to represent the host part.    Subnetting Calculation In term of private addressing scheme, UTeM network is class C private addressing scheme which is 192.168.0.0 that will be provided to 30 departments. The default subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0   or   11111111 1...
