The number of bytes configurable is
dependent on the class of IP address

IP Address: 32 bits or 4 bytes (0 or 1)

Private Addressing
Designed to slow depletion of IP addresses and
reduce the number of Internet routing table
entries
Used by organizations that do not need to have
a connection to the Internet; no permission from
ARIN is needed to use these IP addresses
Consists of three networks
Class A: 10.0.0.0 though 10.255.255.255
Class B: 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
Class C: 192.168.0.0 though 192.168.255.255
Not Routable on the Internet
IP Addressing Rules
No field of an interface's IP address may
contain all 1's or all 0's (binary)
All 0's in the host portion of an IP address
identify a subnet or network
192.156.10.0 (00000000)
All 1's in the host portion of a target IP
address is an IP broadcast
192.156.10.255 (11111111)
Subnetting
Requires partitioning a portion of the host
ID for use a subnetwork number
NET ID HOST ID
Host Numbers
Each host number must be unique within the
subnetwork
When to Subnet
Geography
Functional area separation
Network traffic interference
Reorganization
Connection 2 different media protocols
Anytime a router is used (Most common
reason)
30% or greater Ethernet
50% or greater Token Ring
Main Reason for
Subnetting IP Networks
Better overall management of the network
by creating groups of systems:
Subnet Mask is the address with every network bit turned on. This tells
the router that you want to use some Host bits as network (subnet) bits.
