Hour 5 Subnetting
you will be able to • Explain how subnets and supernets are used • Explain the benefits of subnetting • Develop a subnet mask that meets business needs • Describe supernetting and CIDR notation
To borrow some of the bits from the host ID to designate a subnet address. • Subnet uses a 1 in the part of the network ID or subnet ID. • And uses a 0 in the IP address that is part of the host ID.

Working with Subnets • The subnet mask defined how many bits will be used for the subnet ID . • The best solution is to plan your network first and determine the number and location of all network segments, then assign each segment a subnet ID.

Classless Internet Domain Routing • Classless Internet Domain Routing (CIDR) is a technique that allows a block of network IDs to be treated as a single entity in routing tables. • called a supernet mask. • the supernet mask in effect takes bits away from the network ID
