This subnetting stuff is crazy.

Not really...that's just how I feel after trying to read up on all this stuff over the past few days.

I've got it, I just need to get faster doing the problems. Even though it is frustrating sometimes, I do enjoy it.

I'm looking forward to starting on the routing labs next...I just got two 2520s in the other day. Just won a Catalyst 2950 on ebay, too.

I'm excited!

    Learn how to subnet by looking at a simple chart that you create. It will save you lots of time on the test.

    think we all feel like when first starting out........

    once you crack it tho it starts to make sense and gets a lot simpler as you practice and practice and practice.........

    then use it the real world.... lol
    if I say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of them offends, I usually mean the other one :-)

    It will help you down the road if you do MCSE, subnetting is all over 70-291.

    I used to hate and dread subnetting but once i read odom's interpretations of the logical process to subnetting it was plain and simple. check it out in his icnd1 book if you havent already.

    Also cant i ask which approach to subnetting are you taking? - the decimal way or binary way? obviously know the ground work with the binary stuff but i found the decimal way to be more efficient in timing. That process with plenty of practice on subnettingquestions.com was enough for what i required for the ccent.

    Check out CBT Nuggets if you can. I was having problems because there are so many different ways to approach it. I felt that the CBT Nuggets explained it very well. I'm now going through subnettingquestions.c0m for practice.

    Make sure you are FAST in solving subnetting problems. IP numbers plays a major role in networks and even could be a part of several issues.
