Quick question about borrowed bits...

Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out how many bits I've borrowed from the host...default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, but I'm using 255.255.192.0 --- The network address given is 182.214.0.0 -- any thoughts?

Any help would be extremely appreciated. As I'm having some trouble with this bit borrowing stuff!

You've borrowed 2 bits

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

128+64=192

Hmm?

So 192, or 2? I'm confused.

Borrowing 2 bits is the same as 192 in the subnet mask. The chart in this link will help make subnetting easier, Let?s Talk About Subnetting? : John Lockie
