Subnetting and creating subnet masks is often outsourced to consultants, but doing it yourself can be both challenging and rewarding. In the IT world, specifically in networking, there aren’t many ...

The bits in the mask identify both hosts and subnets. The more hosts, the fewer subnets; the more subnets, the fewer hosts can be individually addressed. These bits become a tradeoff based on the ...

If computers in an open network talk freely with one another and two computers start talking at the same time, you have a “data collision.” Collisions may be arbitrated via Carrier Sense Multiple ...

Global Unicast Addressing, Routing, and Subnetting: This section introduces the concepts behind unicast IPv6 addresses, IPv6 routing, and subnetting using IPv6, all in comparison to IPv4. IPv6 ...

My book I'am reading IP fundamentals has gotten a bit confusing when getting combining several subnets which uses more bits for it's subnet number into one single subnet such as combining four /24 ...

One of the most prevalent problems with IP networks occurs when IP subnet masks are incorrect. This seems to happen frequently because the concept of the subnet mask is not understood accurately. In ...

In one of our buldings we are running out of IP addresses. Lets say for example we are using 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 - so that give us 254 usable addresses.<br><br>They want to add like 10 - 20 more ...

The last editionof this column discussed subnet masks and the nature of IP addressing. In this and the following column, we will begin discussing what subnetting means and how to do it. First, though, ...
