How do you find the maximum number of hosts for a subnet mask?
Maximum number of hosts is 2^10-2 = 1022. 2 is subtracted for Number of hosts is also. The address with all bits as 1 is reserved as broadcast address and address with all host id bits as 0 is used as network address of subnet.
How many hosts can the subnet 255.255 0.0 support?
By simply changing the subnet mask from 255.255. 0.0 to 255.255….IP subnetting.
| Subnet Mask | Number of Supported Hosts per Network | |
|---|---|---|
| Class A | 255.0.0.0 | Over 16 million |
| Class B | 255.255.0.0 | Over 16 thousand |
| Class C | 255.255.255.0 | 254 |
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that can be assigned to hosts on a local subnet that uses the 255.255 255.248 subnet mask?
The mask 255.255. 255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts which is less than 15, so this will not work. The mask 255.255. 255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts so this may work.
What does a subnet mask of 255.255 255.192 mean?
255.0. However, an office network may be configured with a different subnet mask such as 255.255. 255.192, which limits the number of IP addresses to 64. This is the default subnet mask used by Class B networks and provides up to 65,536 IP addresses (256 x 256). The largest Class A networks use a subnet mask of 255.0.
How do you find the maximum number of hosts?
To find the maximum number of hosts, look at the number of binary bits in the host number above. The easiest way to do this is to subtract the netmask length from 32 (number of bits in an IPv4 address). This gives you the number of host bits in the address.
What is the maximum number of hosts in a subnet?
The maximum number of available hosts is 4094. You cannot, of course, use the first or last IP in a subnet (e.g. 10.0. 0.0 and 10.0. 15.255) for hosts as these are required for other purposes.
How many hosts are in a 8 subnet?

How many hosts does 255.255 255.192 have?
For Class B Networks
| network | network mask | hosts |
|---|---|---|
| /count | possible | |
| 26 | 255.255.255.192 | 64 |
| 27 | 255.255.255.224 | 32 |
| 28 | 255.255.255.240 | 16 |
How do you calculate the number of hosts?
To calculate the number of possible hosts per subnet, use the formula 2h – 2, where h equals the number of host bits. The reason two addresses must be subtracted is because of the network address and the broadcast address.
What is the maximum number of hosts allowed on subnet 172.30 100.0 22?
258
D Average attenuation/average distortion. 15 What is the maximum number of hosts allowed on subnet 172.30. 100.0/22? A 258.
What is the maximum number of hosts per subnet?
Excluding the reserved Network and Broadcast addresses, there can be a maximum number of 2046 hosts. What subnet mask would you use for the 172.16.0.0 network, such that you can get 230 subnets and 170 hosts per subnet?
How many bits are required to create a subnet address?
Using the formula below 2n -2, Where the exponent n is equal to the number of bits left after subnet bits are borrowed. we can calculate how many bits will be required so that each subnet has 30 host addresses. 25 -2 =30, so 5 bits atleast must be available for host addressing and the remaining can be borrowed to create subnet addresses.
How many possible addresses are there in a 255 netmask?
Netmask 255.255.255.240 == /28 netmask, which means 32bits – 28bits == 4bits ==> 16 possible addresses.
How do I calculate the broadcast address of a subnet?
To calculate the broadcast address of a subnet change all the host bits values in the subnet address to binary 1s. For example if we need to find the broadcast address of the subnet 192.168.116.32/27 we will first list the subnet address in binary, (we have previously discuses the mathematical conversion process in a previous article).
