  • Here is a method that simplifies the process of subnetting. Hopefully it will help you understand what's really happening when networks are divided up and why subnet masks are important.
    For some background information on binary counting and conversion, check out these videos:

      @@najashitv6460 usually you can find it if you have a slash notation, if it was say /25 the subnet mask would be 255.255.255.128 and /26 would be 255.255.255.192 and so on

      I thought I was stupid as I was moving from video to video too! I realise now that it's just the way it's explained! What I find confusing us how is the subnet mask determined???

      @@InfiniteTony for real, so confusing because the 2 in the 3rd segments in the Network adress only remains in the same casue it cancels each other out if you compare it in binary with the subnetmask. 00000010(IP segment) and if you compare it to 11111111(Subnetmasksegment) it remains 00000010(= 2). Terrible example in my opinion. The other parts were well explained tho.
