Objectives
 Identify the advantages of subnetting a
physical network
 Identify the steps to subnet a classful network.
2

IP Subnetting concept
 Dividing a huge network into smaller
manageable networks
3

Advantages of subnetting
Benefits of subnetting a physical network include:
reduced network traffic,
optimized network performance, and
simplified network management.
4

How to Create Subnets?
 Creating subnetworks is the act of taking bits
from the host portion of the address and
reserving them to define the subnet address
instead.
5

Subnet Masks
A subnet mask  a 32-bit value that allows the device that’s
receiving IP packets to distinguish the network ID portion of the IP
address from the host ID portion of the IP address.
The function of the subnet mask is to differentiate among the
network address, the host addresses, and the directed broadcast
address.
6

Default subnet masks
Default subnet masks for Classes A, B, and C
7
IP Class Format Default Subnet Mask
A Network . Node . Node . Node 255 . 0. 0. 0
B Network . Network . Node . Node 255. 255 . 0. 0
C Network . Network . Network . Node 255 . 255. 255 . 0

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
CIDR allows the creation of networks of a size more than the
three classful subnet masks.
192.168.10.32/26. Telling you what your subnet mask is.
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192
The slash notation (/) means how many bits are turned on (1s).
8

Subnetting Class C Addresses
In a Class C address, only 8 bits
available for defining hosts.
Remember that subnet bits start at
the left and move to the right

5Steps for Subnetting Class C Addresses
 When you are given a particular address and subnet mask, identify
whether the address is a network, host, or directed broadcast address,
then you should use the following five steps:
1. How many subnets does the chosen subnet mask produce?
2. How many valid hosts per subnet are available?
3. What are the valid subnets?
4. What’s the broadcast address of each subnet?
5. What are the valid host range in each subnet?
10

Subnetting Class C IPAddresses
Example 1: Given: IP address 192.168.1.132/26.
Telling you what your subnet mask is. 255.255.255.192
Step 1: How many subnets?
 𝒙
= number of subnets.
 x is the number of masked bits, or the 1s.
 For example, in 11000000, the number of 1s gives us 𝟐𝟐
= 4 subnets.
11

12
Step 2: How many hosts per subnet?
 𝒚
– 2) = number of hosts per subnet. y is the number
of unmasked bits, or the 0s.
 For example, in 11000000, the number of 0s gives
us 𝟐𝟔
– 2) hosts, or 62 hosts per subnet.
 You need to subtract 2 for the subnet address and
the broadcast address, which are not valid hosts.
The subnet also has a network and broadcast address, which is the reason the formula subtracts 2.

Step 3: What are the valid subnets?
256 – subnet mask = block size, or increment number.
 An example would be the 255.255.255.192 mask,
 256 – 192 = 64. Start counting at zero in blocks of 64 until you
reach the subnet mask value
The network numbers in our example, gives us four networks:
192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.64, 192.168.1.128, and 192.168.1.192.
13

Step 4: What’s the broadcast address of each subnet?
 Subnets in the last section as 0, 64, 128, and 192, the broadcast address is always
the number right before the next subnet.
The 0 subnet has a broadcast address of 63 because the next subnet is 64.
The 64 subnet has a broadcast address of 127 because the next subnet is 128, and so
on.
Remember, the broadcast address of the last subnet is always 255.
14

Step 5: What are the valid hosts in each subnet?
 Valid host range: numbers between subnet address and broadcast address.
15

Our address, 192.168.1.132, is a host address based on this table, where its
network number is 192.168.1.128 and its directed broadcast is 192.168.1.191.
16

Determining Class C IPAddress Components
Example #2 : Given: Network address: 192.168.1.0 and
Subnet mask address: 255.255.255.128.
 or 192.168.1.0/25
Step 1: How many subnets? Answer: 2 Subnets
 Since 128 is 1 bit on (10000000), the answer
would be 𝟐𝟏
= 2 Subnets.
17

Step 2: How many hosts per subnet?
We have 7 host bits off (10000000), so the equation
would be ( 𝟕
– 2) = 126 hosts.
Step 3: What are the valid subnets?
 256 – 128 = 128. Remember, we’ll start at zero and
count in our block size, so our subnets are 0, 128.
 We have two subnets, each with 126 hosts.
18

Step 4: What’s the broadcast address for each subnet?
 The number right before the value of the next subnet is all
host bits turned on and equals the broadcast address.
 For the zero subnet, the next subnet is 128, so the
broadcast of the 0 subnet is 127.
19

Step 5: What are the valid hosts?
 The easiest way to find the hosts is to write out the subnet address
and the broadcast address.
 The following table shows
the 0 and 128 subnets, the
valid host ranges of each,
and the broadcast address
of both subnets.

Router#show ip route
[output cut]
C 192.168.10.0 is directly connected to Ethernet 0
C 192.168.10.128 is directly connected to Ethernet 1

Example #3: Network address 192.168.10.0
Subnet mask address 255.255.255.192
 or 192.168.1.0/26
How many subnets? 192 is 11000000, so our equation
would be 𝟐
= 4 Subnets.
How many hosts? – 2) = 62 hosts per subnet.
22

What are the valid subnets?
 256 – 192 = 64.
 Remember to start at zero and count in our block size.
 This means our subnets are 0, 64, 128, and 192.
 We can see we have a block size of 64, so we have
4 subnets, each with 62 hosts.
23

What’s the broadcast address for each subnet?
 The number right before the value of the next subnet
is all host bits turned on and equals the broadcast address.
 For the zero subnet, the next subnet is 64, so the
broadcast address for the zero subnet is 63.
24

What are the valid hosts?
The following table shows the 0, 64, 128, and 192 subnets, the valid
host ranges of each, & the broadcast address of each subnet:
25

Implementing a class C /26 (with three networks)
26
You can use the first valid
host in each subnet as the
router’s interface address.

Example #3: 192.168.10.0 = Network address
255.255.255.224 = Subnet mask; or 192.168.10.0/27
How many subnets? 224 is 11100000, so our equation = 8.
 How many hosts?
𝟓
– 2) = 30 hosts per subnet.
 What are the valid subnets? 256 – 224 = 32.
We just start at zero and count to the subnet mask value in blocks
(increments) of 32: 0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, and 224.
27

 What’s the broadcast address for each subnet (always the number
right before the next subnet)?
 What are the valid hosts (the numbers between the subnet number
and the broadcast address)?
28

Example #4: 192.168.10.0 = Network address
255.255.255.240 = Subnet mask or 192.168.10.0/28
How many subnets? 240 is 111100000, so 𝟒
= 16.
How many hosts? – 2) = 14 hosts per subnet.
29

 What are the valid subnets? 256 – 240 = 16.
 Start at 0: 0 + 16 = 16. 16 + 16 = 32. 32 + 16 = 48.
48 + 16 = 64. 64 + 16 = 80. 80 + 16 = 96.
96 + 16 = 112. 112 + 16 = 128. 128 + 16 = 144.
144 + 16 = 160. 160 + 16 = 176. 176 + 16 = 192.
192 + 16 = 208. 208 + 16 = 224. 224 + 16 = 240.
30

 What’s the broadcast address for each subnet (always the
number right before the next subnet)?
 What are the valid hosts (the numbers between the subnet
number and the broadcast address)?

Subnet Practice #1
 Given: 192.168.10.50 = Node address
255.255.255.224 = Subnet mask
 Determine the subnet and broadcast address of the network in which the previous
IP address resides.
 256 – 224 = 32. Now just count by our increments of 32 until we pass the
host address: 0, 32, 64, and so on.
 The address of 50 falls between the two subnets of 32
and 64 and must be part of the 192.168.10.32 subnet.
 The next subnet is 64, so the broadcast address of the
32 subnet is 63.
 The valid host range equals the numbers between the subnet and broadcast address,
or 33–62.Source: Feleke Merin (Dr.-Engr.)
34

Subnet Practice #2
 Given: 192.168.10.50 = Node address
255.255.255.240 = Subnet mask
 What is the subnet and broadcast address of the network of which the previous
IP address is a member?
 256 – 240 = 16. Now just count by our increments of 16 until we
pass the host address: 0, 16, 32, 48, 64 and so on.
 The host address is between the 48 and 64 subnets. The subnet is 192.168.10.48,
and the broadcast address is 63 , because the next subnet is 64.
 The valid host range equals the numbers between the subnet number
and the broadcast address, or 49–62.
35

Subnet Practice #3
Given: a node address of 192.168.10.174 with a mask of 255.255.255.240.
 What is the valid host range?
 The mask is 240, so we’d do a 256 – 240 = 16. This is our block size. Just keep
adding 16 until we pass the host address of 174, starting at zero, of course:
0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176.
The host address of 174 is between 160 and 176, so the subnet is 160.
The broadcast address is 175; the valid host range is 161–174.
36

Subnet Practice #4
 Given: 192.168.10.17 = Node address; 255.255.255.252 = Subnet mask
 What is the subnet and broadcast address of the subnet in which the previous IP
address resides?
 256 – 252 = 4. Now just count by our increments of 4 until we pass the host
address: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.
 The host address is between the 16 and 20 subnets.
 The subnet is 192.168.10.16, and the broadcast address is 19.
 The valid host range is 17–18.
