IP subnet mask (binary) ....... IP subnet mask (decimal) ....... Number of usable hosts in subnet ....... IP Subnet (Base subnetwork address) ....... First IP Host address ....... Last IP Host address ...... i will appreciate if someone could explain to me or show me how i can do it.Thank you

Now go back to the simplest most common table you should know. 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 <--- Start with 128 and keep it halving by 2 until u reach one. U shud know this by heart. So, here we have number of hosts. We need 59 and the closest is 64 in the line above. See now we don't wanna go over too much and leave too much space. If we choose 128 that will waste the hosts, where as 32 doesn't satisfy the need for 59 hosts. Agreed? good. So, now number of usable hosts will be 64 minus 2 = 62. Why? Because the first address is the network and last is the broadcast. Will mention this in a bit. now look at the table below which I love writing down for easy easy subnetting. 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 128 192 224 240 248 252 254 255 So, Since we are using Class C subnet --> 255.255.255.0 Look under 64, what do u see? 18? But that will come in class B. Why? Because add up the bits now if u don't get it. 4 octets right? 0.0.0.0 each has 8 in it. so 8 + 8 which is 8.8.0.0 is class B. 8 + 8 = 16 and 18 comes in the 3rd octet get it? if not read again, really simple stuff. Ohkk so, since class C, we look under 18 which takes us to 26. Now this 26 is the /26 you see in subnet masking. so how will u get to 26?? 8 + 8 + 8 = 24. 24 + 2 is 26. So you know 24 is 255.255.255.0 right?? So now what is 26 ?? Well, look at the table, under 26 --->> 192. That makes the subnet mast 255.255.255.192 -->> ur base subnet address. Now, network address and broadcast address. Remember this: 1st address is network address and last is the broadcast address. Let's go to the subnet A: 192.15.75.0 ---->> now at the place of 0 you put 64. ohk so here's how it goes. 192.15.75.0 192.15.75.64 192.15.75.128 You keep adding 64. Now these are all different networks. Take 192.15.75.0 for example, since this is the first address it's the network address. What's the broadcast address? Look at the next network and minus one from the last octet. so Broadcast address will be 192.15.75.63 get it?? all the addresses inbetween are the usable hosts. so 192.15.75.1, 192.15.75.2.....192.15.75.62 first usbale host::: 192.15.75.1 last usable host:::: 192.15.75.62 Pheww. Finished my CCENT a while ago. So much fun to teach subnetting. Hope this helps!!
