- The CCNA Topics Covered in this chapter include:
- Troubleshooting IP addressing
3. Subnetting Basics
- Benefits of subnetting include:
- Optimized network performance
- Facilitated spanning of large geographical distances.
4. How To Create Subnets Take bits from the host portion of the IP address and reserve the to divine the subnet address.
5. Understanding the Powers of 2
6. Subnet Masks
- Used to define which part of the host address will be used as the subnet address.
- A 32-bit value that allows the recipient of IP packets to distinguish the network ID portion of the IP address from the host ID portion.
7. Default Subnet Masks
8. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) Used to allocate an amount of IP address space to a given entity (company, home, customer, etc). Example: 192.168.10.32/28 The slash notation (/) means how many bits are turned on (1s) and tells you what your subnet mask is.
9. CIDR Values
10. Subnetting Class C Addresses In a Class C address, only 8 bits are available for defining the hosts. Remember that subnet bits start at the left and go to the right, without skipping bits. This means that the only Class C subnet masks can be the following: Binary Decimal CIDR --------------------------------------------------------- 10000000 = 128 /25 11000000 = 192 /26 11100000 = 224 /27 11110000 = 240 /28 11111000 = 248 /29 11111100 = 252 /30
11. Class C 192 mask examples Subnet Host Meaning 00 000000 = 0 The network (do this first) 00 000001 = 1 The first valid host 00 111110 = 62 The last valid host 00 111111 = 63 The broadcast address (do this second) Subnet Host Meaning 01 000000 = 64 The network 01 000001 = 65 The first valid host 01 111110 = 126 The last valid host 01 111111 = 127 The broadcast address
12. Class C 192 mask examples Subnet Host Meaning 10 000000 = 128 The subnet address 10 000001 = 129 The first valid host 10 111110 = 190 The last valid host 10 111111 = 191 The broadcast address Subnet Host Meaning 11 000000 = 192 The subnet address 11 000001 = 193 The first valid host 11 111110 = 254 The last valid host 11 111111 = 255 The broadcast address
13. Subnetting Class C Addresses – Fast Method Answer Five Simple Questions:
14. How Many Subnets?
- X is the number of masked bits, or the 1s.
- For example, in 11000000, the number of ones gives us 2 2 subnets. In this example there are 4 subnets.
15. How Many Hosts Per Subnet?
- 2 y -2 = number of hosts per subnet.
- Y is the number of unmasked bits, or the 0s.
- For example, in 11000000, the number of zeros gives us 2 6 -2 hosts. In this example, there are 62 hosts per subnet.
16. What Are The Valid Subnets?
- 256-subnet mask = block size, or base number.
- For example 256-192=64. 64 is the first subnet. The next subnet would be the base number plus itself or 64+64=128, (the second subnet).
17. What’s The Broadcast Address For Each Subnet?
- The broadcast address is all host bits turned on, which is the number immediately preceding the next subnet.
18. What Are The Valid Hosts?
- Valid hosts are the number between the subnets, omitting all 0s and all 1s.
