If your company network is having problems and you need to troubleshoot it, you also need to know some basic information about the computers on the network. Internet Protocol is the underlying ...

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 ...

To connect some copiers or multi-function printers to a router, you may need to know the subnet mask value for the network. A subnet mask defines the value range of IP addresses used in a workgroup.

Subnetting and creating subnet masks is often outsourced to consultants, but doing it yourself can be both challenging and rewarding. In the IT world, specifically in networking, there aren’t many ...

The mask Class A subnet masks must start with 255.0.0.0 at a minimum, because the whole first octet of an IP address (the IP address describes the specific location on the network) is used to define ...

Subnetting a Class B network can involve some serious thought! As a network administrator, you'll have to know it and know it well. Todd Lammle walks you through clear instructions and simple examples ...

We have a pretty simple network at the moment that is going to get a lot more complex soon, so I'm trying to take it little steps at a time. All sites are connected via an AT&T MPLS, with one public ...

The following summarizes how networks, subnetworks and hosts are identified in the TCP/IP protocol. An IP address is first divided between networks and hosts. The host bits are further divided between ...

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 ...
