IP Subnetting J-3
sequence of ones beginning from the left most bit of the mask, followed by a continuous sequence of zeros,
for a total number of 32 bits.
Since the mask is always a continuous number of ones beginning from the left, followed by a continuous
number of zeros for the remainder of the 32 bit mask, you can simply specify the number of ones instead of
writing the value of each octet. This is usually specified by writing a “/” followed by the number of bits in
the mask after the address.
For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128.
The following table shows all possible subnet masks for a class “C” address using both notations.

The first mask shown is the class “C” natural mask. Normally if no mask is specified it is understood that
the natural mask is being used.
Example: Two Subnets
As an example, you have a class “C” address 192.168.1.0 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

The first three octets of the address make up the network number (class “C”). You want to have two
separate networks.
