Practicing some subnetting and was moving right along until I hit this one.
Sometimes it's like the subnetting "HowTo" just slides out of ear.
Is this right? If so please explain how. Thanks all.
Question: How many subnets and hosts per subnet can you get from the network 10.0.0.0 255.255.240.0?
Answer: 4096 subnets and 4094 hosts

So, you are correct.Currently PursuingWGU (BS in IT Network Administration) - 52%| CCIE:Voice Written - 0% (0/200 Hours)mikej412 wrote:Cisco Networking isn't just a job, it's a Lifestyle. -
Delirious Member Posts: 79 ■■□□□□□□□□Yes this is correct. There are 12 bits for the network and 12 bits for the hosts.
amount of networks = 2 to the 12th = 4096
amount of hosts = 2n-2 = 2 to the 12th -2 = 4094 -

I think what you fail to look at is the ip add this is a class A address so we save the first 8 bits of the mask, the next 12 is your subnet.
