IP Address & Subnetting

Classless Addressing
• Subnetting and supernetting in classful addressing did not really solve
the address depletion problem. With the growth of the Internet, it
was clear that a larger address space was needed as a long-term
solution
• IPv6 (long-term)
• In classless addressing, variable-length blocks are used that belong to
no classes. We can have a block of 1 address, 2 addresses, 4
addresses, 128 addresses, and so on.

Subnetting Steps
1. How many subnets does the subnet mask produce?
2. How many valid hosts per subnet?
3. What are the valid subnets?
4. What are the valid hosts in each subnet?
5. What is the broadcast address of each subnet?
255.255.255.192
• Let’s use the Class C subnet address from the preceding example,
255.255.255.192, to see how much simpler this method is than
writing out the binary numbers.
• In this example, you will subnet the network address 192.168.10.0
and subnet mask 255.255.255.192.
• 192.168.10.0=Network address
• 255.255.255.192=Subnet mask
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
• 192.168.10.0=Network number
• 255.255.255.240=Subnet mask
• 255.255.255.248
• 192.168.10.0=Network address
• 255.255.255.248=Subnet mask
• 255.255.255.252
• 192.168.10.0=Network number
• 255.255.255.252=Subnet mask
