Example: Four Subnets

The above example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a class "C" address space
into two subnets. Similarly to divide a class "C" address into four subnets, you need to
"borrow" two host ID bits to give four possible combinations of 00, 01, 10 and 11. The subnet
mask is 26 bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192. Each subnet
contains 6 host ID bits, giving 2
1's is the broadcast address on the subnet).
