Subneting

The trick to Subneting
I always had this trick since long time ago when I did CCNA I saw it somewhere, I wrote it but could never find it. Now I have it and I document it for all.
First we have to draw the magic table,
just remember 1,128,128,0 then go from there…
bit(n) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
bit 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Subn 128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255
Sub(#s) 0 2 6 14 30 62 126 254
Important to remember about the class
NetworkHosts
Class C 248, Class B 1616 Class A 8 24
The most asked quesitons are:
Q1. Find the number of bits needed for the host
2^x = 1000(hosts) , 2^10 = 1024 n=10 bits(host)
2. Subnet Bits left for the network
32-x, 32-10 = 22 bits(net)
3. Determine the number of bits borrowed
Sub bit – 8 (octets), 22-8-8= 6 bits borrowed
4. The Subnet
bits 8.8.8.6.0 (ref table) = 255.255.255.252.0
Q1. 172.30.0.0 needs 55 subnets, how many hosts for each?
1. ref table # sub 62 or 6 bits + 16 bits(classB) = 22
2.Bits for the host part
32-22 = 10 bits (2^n)-2, (2^10)-2 =? 1022 hosts per subnet
