Subnet Mask divides the IP address into two segments and informs the computer which part is the network bit and which one is the host bit. For example, if there is an IP address: 192.168.0.1, it will ...

Today, the standard methods for moving the network/host address boundary are variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) for host addressing and routing inside a routing domain, and classless interdomain ...

If you're looking to segment a TCP/IP network, subnetting is not your only option. CIDR, or supernetting, is another way to accomplish the task and offers some unique solutions. Here's how to use ...

I understand the basics of ip addressing. I know how to convert an addy into binary. I know what the defualt subnet masks for the classes are. I don't how custom subnetting works though. Borrowing ...
