B-6 IP Subnetting
Subnetting With Class A and Class B Networks.
For class “A” and class “B” addresses the subnet mask also determines which bits are part of the
network number and which are part of the host ID.
A class “B” address has two host ID octets available for subnetting and a class “A” address has three
host ID octets (see
Chart B-1 ) available for subnetting.
The following table is a summary for class “B” subnet planning.
