How Does Subnetting Work?

Subnetting is the technique of dividing one big network into multiple small networks. Subnet makes the network more efficient and easy to maintain. Subnets provide a shorter path to network traffic without passing through unnecessary routers to reach their destinations.Subnetting makes network routing much more efficient....

What is Classful Addressing and Classless Addressing?

Let’s assume what happens when there is no subnetting in a Large network that has a million devices connected to them and they have their unique IP Address. Now, what happens when we send some information in that network from one device to another? In that case, our data/information passes through most of the unnecessary routers or devices until they find a destination device....

What is CIDR?

In Classful Addressing, we divided IPV4 Network into 5 classes(Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E) of fixed length. In Classful addressing IP addresses are allocated according to the classes- A to E. In this Scheme, Network ID and Host ID changes depend on the class....

Working on IP Address Block

CIDR or Class Inter-Domain Routing allows the user to use VLSM or Variable Length Subnet Masks in order to make IP address allocation and IP routing that allows more efficient use of IP addresses....

How to Calculate CIDR Notation?

An IP address is a 32-bit unique address having an address space of 232. The IPv4 address is divided into two parts:...

IPv4 Subnets (w/ Wildcard Mask Values)

Here, step-by-step you can calculate the CIDR notation of any IP Address:...

Classification of IPV4 Address

Here in the below charts, we will see pre-defined subnet masks, followed by some explanations of what they mean....

Reserved IP Address

IPv4 addresses are classified into five classes: A, B, C, D, and E. The first octet(8 bits) of an IPv4 address determines the class of the address....

Private IPv4 Addresses

Reserved IP addresses are a set of IP addresses that are not assigned to any specific device or network....

Special IPv4 Addresses

Private IPv4 addresses are a range of IP addresses that are not routable on the public internet. They are reserved for use within private networks, such as homes, businesses, and organizations....

Bogon IPv4 Addresses

Special IPv4 addresses are a set of IP addresses, that serve specific purposes. These addresses are used for special functions and are not assigned to individual devices....

Why learning Subnetting is Important?

A bogon IP address is an IP address that are not assigned or allocated to any specific entity or organization. Bogon addresses are typically used to filter or block suspicious or illegitimate network traffic....

Summary

Learning to subnet is important for a number of reasons, including:...

Subnet Cheat Sheet – FAQs

Alright, wrapping it up, subnetting is pretty much a crucial skill for network admins and IT professionals. It’s all about managing and dishing out IP addresses in networks like a pro. This subnet cheat sheet? It’s your new best friend. It’s got everything you need to know about subnetting, from getting your head around IP addresses and subnet masks to the lingo like CIDR notation and VLSM. Just follow the guide, use the formulas and tables, and subnetting will be a walk in the park. Keep at it, and you’ll be a subnetting master in no time, creating slick network designs, using addresses like a boss, and boosting network performance.Limitations of subnetting. Communication between one subnet to another subnet requires a router. A poorly configured or fatally failed router can significantly impact your organization’s network....
