Introduction to Subnetworks
Marandola—Lets have some FUN ????
What Is a Subnet?• A Series of Networks within a Network
• Created by subdividing the Host address field and creating a Subnetwork Field
• All Hosts on a Subnetwork share a common subnetwork address
Why Subnet a Network?• Provides Greater Organization of Large
Networks (Class A 16 Million Hosts!)
• Allows Additional Networks (subnets) without applying for additional IPs
• Gives local administrators more control
• Provides a Third Level of Hierarchy
• Reduces the Size of Broadcast Domains
How Do You Create Subnets?• Bits are Borrowed from the Host Field
– This Creates a Subnet Field in the IP address

Two Bits Borrowed from the Host Field to form a third layer of hierarchy - A Subnet Field
Two Bits must always remain so a maximum of 6 Bits may be borrowed from a Class C networkHow many bits can be borrowed from a Class B network? From a Class A network?

The number of Subnets Created is calculated using the following formula:
# Subnets Created = 2# Borrowed Bits

• If you Borrow 2 Host Bits you do NOT get 4 Subnets. Why?
• Remember the Network Address and Broadcast Address - Both of these addresses are Reserved, they cannot be used!

How Many Hosts/Subnet?NetworkNetwork Network Host

The number of Hosts per subnet is calculated using the following formula:
# Hosts/Subnet = 2# Host Bits Remaining
# Hosts = 26 = 64 hosts/subnet
• If there are 6 Host Bits remaining you do NOT get 64 Hosts/Subnet. Why?
• Each subnetwork has its own Subnetwork Address and Broadcast Address - Both of these addresses are Reserved and cannot be used!
• Thus only 62 Hosts are available.
How Many Hosts/Subnet?6 Host Bits Remain = 26 = 64 Hosts

• Remember to subtract 2 for the Network Address and Broadcast Address.
• Remember to subtract 2 for the Subnetwork Address and Subnetwork Broadcast Address.
Formulas to Remember!
# Subnets Created = 2# Borrowed Bits
# Hosts/Subnet = 2# Host Bits Remaining
• Subnetting is not an easy concept to grasp but you can make life easier on yourself if you will Remember the formulas and rules.
• Failure to remember this information will guarantee your inability to subnet a network.
• If you require assistance with Subnetting I will be happy to help. Flash cards work great!
