Table 136 Subnet 2 (continued)
IP/SUBNET MASK
Subnet Address:
192.168.1.128
Broadcast Address:
192.168.1.255
Host IDs of all zeros represent the subnet itself and host IDs of all ones are the broadcast
address for that subnet, so the actual number of hosts available on each subnet in the example
7
above is 2
192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 is the subnet itself, and 192.168.1.127 with mask
255.255.255.128 is the directed broadcast address for the first subnet. Therefore, the lowest IP
address that can be assigned to an actual host for the first subnet is 192.168.1.1 and the highest
is 192.168.1.126. Similarly the host ID range for the second subnet is 192.168.1.129 to
192.168.1.254.
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 (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
all ones is the broadcast address on the subnet).
