## Question ## Problem
45 hosts -> SW1->+--+<-SW3<-45 hosts You have a network topology where each segment requires **45 hosts**:
|R1|
45 hosts -> SW2->+--+<-SW4<-45 hosts
Divide the 192.168.1.0/24 network into four subnets that can accommodate ```
the number of hosts required. 45 hosts -> SW1 -> R1 <- SW3 <- 45 hosts
45 hosts -> SW2 -> R1 <- SW4 <- 45 hosts
```
The first subnet (Subnet 1) is 192.168.1.0/26 What are the remaining subnet You are given the network:
Hint: Find the broadcast address of Subnet 1. The next address is the network address of * **192.168.1.0/24**
Subnet 2. Repeat the process for Subnets 3 and 4
Your task is to divide it into **4 subnets**, each capable of supporting at least 45 hosts.
---
## Step 1: Choose the Right Subnet Size
To support **45 hosts**, we need:
* ( 2^n - 2 \geq 45 )
* ( n = 6 ) → ( 2^6 - 2 = 62 ) hosts
So each subnet must be a **/26**.
---
## Step 2: Subnet Breakdown (/26)
Each subnet increases by **64 addresses**.

### Subnet 1 ### Subnet 1
Subnet 1: 192.168.1.0/26 * **Network:** 192.168.1.0/26
11000000.10101000.00000001.00**000000** * **Range:** 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.63
192 . 168 . 1 . 0 * **Broadcast:** 192.168.1.63
broadcast address:
11000000.10101000.00000001.00**111111**
192 . 168 . 1 . 63
192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.63 Binary:
```
11000000.10101000.00000001.00 000000

### Trick ## Quick Trick 💡
By adding 64 the last bit of the network portion you can find the network address Each subnet jumps by **64**:
## Subnetting * 0 → 64 → 128 → 192
11000000.10101000.00000001.0**0000000** Think of it like stepping stones across a river. Same stride, different landing spots.
192.168.255.0
11000000.10101000.11111111.1**0000000** ---
192.168.255.0
Borrowing 1 bit = can make 2 subnets
### Formulas ## Subnetting Basics
2^x = number of subnets * **Number of subnets:**
(x=number of 'borrowed' bits) ( 2^x ) (x = borrowed bits)
2^n-2 = number of hosts * **Number of hosts per subnet:**
(x=number of hosts bits) ( 2^n - 2 ) (n = host bits)

## Subenetting Class B
The process of subnetting Class A, Class B and Class C networks is :
Exactly the same !
### Example 1 ### Example 1
You have been given the 172.16.0.0/16 network. You are asked to create 80 **Host:** 192.168.5.57/27
subnets for your company's various LANs, What prefix length should you use ?
172.16.0.0/16 * /27 → block size = 32
* Subnets: 0, 32, 64, ...
10101100.00010000.00000000.00000000 57 falls between **32 and 63**
172 . 16 . 0 . 0
We have to borrow 7 bits = 128 subnets **Network:** 192.168.5.32/27
10101100.00010000.**0000000**0.00000000 ---
172 . 16 . 0 . 0
### Example 2 ### Example 2
You have been given the 172.22.0.0/16 network. You are asked to create 500 **Host:** 192.168.29.219/29
subnets for your company's various LANs, What prefix length should you use ?
172.22.0.0/16 * /29 → block size = 8
* Subnets: 0, 8, 16, ..., 216, 224
10101100.00010000.00000000.00000000 219 falls between **216 and 223**
172 . 22 . 0 . 0
We have to borrow 9 bits = 512 subnets = /25 **Network:** 192.168.29.216/29
10101100.00010000.**00000000.0**0000000 ---

## Class C Reference Table
| Prefix | Subnets | Hosts |
| ------ | ------- | ----- |
| /25 | 2 | 126 |
| /26 | 4 | 62 |
| /27 | 8 | 30 |
| /28 | 16 | 14 |
| /29 | 32 | 6 |
| /30 | 64 | 2 |

## Subnetting Class B Networks
The method is exactly the same. Only the starting mask changes.
---
### Example 1
**Network:** 172.16.0.0/16
**Required subnets:** 80
* ( 2^7 = 128 ) → enough
* New prefix: **/23**
---
### Example 2
**Network:** 172.22.0.0/16
**Required subnets:** 500
* ( 2^9 = 512 )
* New prefix: **/25**
---
### Example 3 ### Example 3
You have given the 172.18.0.0/16 network. Your company requires 250 subnets with the **Network:** 172.18.0.0/16
same number of hosts per subnet. What prefix length should you use **Required subnets:** 250
172.18.0.0 * ( 2^8 = 256 )
* New prefix: **/24**
10101100.00010000.00000000.00000000 ---
172 . 18 . 0 . 0
We have to borrow 8 bits = 256 subnets = /24 ## Class B Reference Table

## Final Review
| Prefix Length | Number of subnets | Number of Hosts | * Subnetting is about **borrowing bits**
| ------------- | ----------------- | --------------- | * Larger prefix = more subnets, fewer hosts
| /17 | 2 | 32766 | * Smaller prefix = fewer subnets, more hosts
