IP Subnetting

IP Subnetting is the method of dividing a network into smaller subnets to enhance performance and manageability. It involves understanding IP addressing, subnet masks, and CIDR notation, with examples provided for subnetting a given IP address. The benefits include better IP address utilization, improved network performance, and easier management and security.

IP Subnetting

IP SUBNETTING

1. Introduction:

IP Subnetting is the process of dividing a network into smaller sub-networks or subnets. It helps

improve performance and manageability.

2. IP Addressing:

- IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses divided into four octets.

- Classes: A (1-126), B (128-191), C (192-223)

3. Subnet Mask:

Defines the boundary between the network and host portions of an IP address.

Examples:

- Class A default: 255.0.0.0

- Class B default: 255.255.0.0

- Class C default: 255.255.255.0

4. CIDR Notation:

- Example: 192.168.1.0/24 (means 24 bits for network)

5. Subnetting Example:

Given: 192.168.1.0/24

If you want 4 subnets:

- New subnet mask: /26 (255.255.255.192)

- Each subnet has 64 addresses (62 usable)


6. Benefits:

- Better utilization of IP addresses

- Improved network performance

- Easier management and security
