reserved for the local network (when a host does not know it’s
network address) and for all hosts on the network (the broadcast
address). This also applies to subnets. A subnet address cannot
be all “0”s or all “1”s. A 1-bit subnet mask is also generally not
allowed.
It is important to know how many subnet addresses and how
many node addresses within a subnet will be available when
implementing an address scheme.
Calculating the Number of Subnets and
Nodes
The number of subnet and node addresses available for a given
addressing scheme can be calculated using the formula:
2
n
-2 = Number of nodes or subnets
Where n = the number of bits in either the subnet mask (to
determine the number of subnets) or the number of bits in the
node part of the IP address (to determine the number of nodes).
Multiplying the number of subnets by the number of nodes gives
the total number of IP addresses available for the entire network.
Note:
Subnet masks with non-contiguous mask bits are allowed,
but not recommended.
For example:
00001010.00101010.01001001.11010010
10.42.73.210
Class A IP address
11111111.11100000.00000000.00000000
255.224.0.0
