Revealing All You Should Know About IP Subnetting

Revealing All You Should Know About IP Subnetting

In my previous article, I have talked about all that you need to know about IP addresses in network security. In this article, I want to talk about all that you need to know about IP subnetting. Follow me as we are going to look at this together in this article.

Subnetting is simply the process of splitting up a network into smaller portions. For example, if you have a network using the IP address 192.168.1.X ( X being whatever the address is for the specific computer) , then you have allocated 255 possible IP addresses.

What of you want to divide that into two separate subnetworks ? This can be done through subnetting.

Technically speaking, the subnet make is a 32 bit number that is assigned to each host to divide the 32 bit binary IP address into network and node portions. It does not accept random numbers.The first value of a subnet mask must be 255, 154, 252, 248, 240, 224, and 128.

The network IP address and the subnet mask will be accepted by the computer, which will then use a binary AND operation to combine them.

A subnet mask is present regardless of the fact that you might have never needed to use subnetting . If you have a Class C IP address, then your network subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and finally, if it a class A , your subnet mask is 255.0.0.0

PS: If you would like to have an online course on any of the courses that you found on this blog, I will be glad to do that on individual and corporate level, I will be very glad to do that I have trained several individuals and groups and they are doing well in their various fields of endeavour. Some of those that I have trained includes staffs of Dangote Refinery, FCMB, Zenith Bank, New Horizons Nigeria among others. Please come on Whatsapp and let’s talk about your training. You can reach me on Whatsapp HERE. Please note that I will be using Microsoft Team to facilitate the training.

I know you might agree with some of the points that I have raised in this article. You might not agree with some of the issues raised. Let me know your views about the topic discussed. We will appreciate it if you can drop your comment. Thanks in anticipation.
