22 Appendix B Converting a Subnet Mask to Binary Code
IP addresses are sometimes followed by their subnet mask expressed in binary (base two) code. This binary
code is called a prefix length. For example,
192.168.1.1 16
is an IP address followed by the prefix length
16
.
The prefix length
16
represents the subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
The simplest way to convert a legal subnet mask into a prefix length is to use the scientific calculator
located on most PCs. In the sample Windows screen below, click on
Start
and then move the cursor over
the
Program
and
Accessories
headings to arrive at the
Calculator
heading. Click on the
Calculator
heading.
The calculator will appear. Click on the
Dec
(Decimal) heading. A dot will mark the circle besides the Dec
heading as shown below. (You can ignore the right hand side headings: Degrees, Radians and Grads.)
