  1. Semester 1, Chapter 10(Supplement) Creating Subnets or How to Have Fun Without Knowing It!

  2. Why create subnets? • Organization • Smaller Router Tables • Minimize collision domains • Minimize broadcast domains

  3. Why create a subnet mask? • Tells device which part of an address is the network # including the subnet and which part is the host • Filters the node IP address to determine which subnet it belongs to • NETWORK/SUBNET/HOST

  4. How to Create Subnets 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 128 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 192 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 224 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 240 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 248 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 252 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 254 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 255

  5. Address Classes If the first octet is between • 1-126 it is a Class A address • 128-191 it is a Class B address • 192-223 it is a Class C address • 224-239 it is a Class D address • 240-255 it is a Class E address 127 is reserved for loopback and is used for internal testing on the local machine

  6. The class determines which part of the address belongs to the network and which part belongs to the host Class A NNNNNNNN.hhhhhhhh.hhhhhhhh.hhhhhhhh Class B NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.hhhhhhhh.hhhhhhhh Class C NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.hhhhhhhh

  7. Subnets and Subnet Mask • Create another section in the IP address called the subnet • NETWORK/SUBNET/HOST • Use a subnet mask!

  8. In Binary Form Class A 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000 Class B 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000 Class C 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 Class A - 255.0.0.0 Class B - 255.255.0.0 Class C - 255.255.255.0 IP Subnet addressing default subnet masks

  9. Restrictions on subnets • Network addresses of all 0’s in the host portion are reserved for specifying the network • Network addresses of all 1’s in the host portions are reserved for the broadcast address

  10. Example 192.56.32.13 • What class is the address? • C • What is the network address? • 192.56.32.0 • What is the broadcast address? • 192.56.32.255 • What is the default subnet mask? • 255.255.255.0

  11. 192.56.32.13 • 192.56.32.0 is the network address • 8 bits are available for the host address • Borrow 1 bit • NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.Shhhhhhh • What is the subnet mask? • 27 = 128 • 255.255.255.128

  12. 177.56.45.13 • What class is this address? • Class B • What is the default subnet mask? • 255.255.0.0 • Borrow 2 bits for the subnet mask • NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.SShhhhhh.hhhhhhhh • What is the subnet mask? • 27+26 = 128+64 = 192 • 255.255.192.0

  13. Total Number of Subnets Number of subnets = 2 number of bits borrowed Maximum (borrow all bits) • Class A 224 = 16,777,216 3 Octets available • Class B 216 = 65,536 2 Octets available • Class C 28 = 256 1 Octet available

  14. 196.54.34.22 • Borrow 2 bits for the subnet mask • Number of subnets - 2 number of bits borrowed • 22 = 4 subnets • Number of hosts per subnet = • 2 # host bits - # bits borrowed = 2 8-2 • 26 = 64 (also called the range)

  15. 196.54.34.22 • Borrowing 2 bits results in 4 subnets (22) and 64 hosts per subnet (26) • NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.NNNNNNNN.SShhhhhh • Lets just look at the last Octet SShhhhhh • Count to 4 in binary (use 2 digits) or all combinations of 0 & 1 using 2 digits • 00 (first subnet) • 01 (second subnet) • 10 (third subnet) • 11 (fourth subnet)
