Determining the Address to Use with the Subnet Mask
The following sections describe how to determine the network address to use with a subnet mask for a
Class C-size and a Class B-size network. This section includes the following topics:
•
•
Class C-Size Network Address
For a network between 2 and 254 hosts, the fourth octet falls on a multiple of the number of host
addresses, starting with 0. For example,
