A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated based on a network configuration. By organizing hosts into logical groups, subnetting can improve network security and ...

In this article we cover one of what I have found to be the most common stumbling blocks for individuals attempting to pass the CCNA. This comes from experience in helping several individuals through ...

Supernetting was created as a way to solve the problem of routing tables growing beyond our current ability to manage the exhaustion of Class B network address space. Much like one area code ...

Have you learned to think and dream in hex yet? That is what you are going to have to look forward to as we transition to using IPv6. Because we will be working in hexadecimal numbers we may need a ...

The bits in the mask identify both hosts and subnets. The more hosts, the fewer subnets; the more subnets, the fewer hosts can be individually addressed. These bits become a tradeoff based on the ...

Before we can go into a detailed discussion of how to calculate the number of network hosts on a network, it is important to have a satisfactory level of understanding about where the whole concept of ...

In this next episode of NetworkChuck’s you SUCK at Subnetting course, we dive a bit deeper into how RFC1918 and NAT saved the internet from crumbling due to IP address exhaustion. So don’t miss out as ...

For one to be able to create multiple logical networks within a Class A, B, or C network, one needs to know the principle of subnet. Without using subnets, one could only use a single network no ...
