Subnetting Basics
Benefits of subnetting include:
How To Create Subnets
Take bits from the host portion of the IP address and reserve the to divine the subnet address.
Understanding the Powers of 2
Subnet Masks
Default Subnet Masks
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
Used to allocate an amount of IP address space to a given entity (company, home, customer, etc).
Example: 192.168.10.32/28
The slash notation (/) means how many bits are turned on (1s) and tells you what your subnet mask is.
CIDR Values
- Reduced network traffic
- Optimized network performance
- Simplified management
- Facilitated spanning of large geographical distances.

Subnet Masks
- Used to define which part of the host address will be used as the subnet address.
- A 32-bit value that allows the recipient of IP packets to distinguish the network ID portion of the IP address from the host ID portion.

IP Addressing
An IP address is a numeric identifier assigned to each machine on an IP network.
It designates the specific location of a device on the network.
IP addressing was designed to allow hosts on one network to communicate with a host on a different network regardless of the type of LANs the hosts are participating in.
IP Terminology
BIT: A bit is one digit, either a 1 or a 0.
BYTE: A byte is 7 or 8 bits, depending on whether parity is used. For the rest of this chapter, always assume a byte is 8 bits.
OCTET: An octet, made up of 8 bits, is just an ordinary 8-bit binary number. In this chapter, the terms byte and octet are completely interchangeable.
Network address: This is the designation used in routing to send packets to a remote network—for example, 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, and 192.168.10.0.
Broadcast address: The address used by applications and hosts to send information to all nodes on a network is called the broadcast address.
Network Addressing
Subdividing an IP address into a network and node address is determined by the class designation of one’s network. This figure summarizes the three classes of networks.
Reserved Addressing
Private Addressing
