The problem is:
How many subnets and hosts per subnet can you get from the network 172.27.0.0/27?
I know how to figure out that there can be 30 host per subnet, but how do you figure out the amount of subnets possible?
Thanks ahead of time.

OptionsFutura Member Posts: 191172 is a class B so 255.255.0.0
27 bit mask is 255.255.11111111.11100000
5 0's left after the mask so
2 to the power of 5 - 2 = 30 Hosts
Subnets bit are 11 1's so 2 to the power of 11 - 2 = 2046 Subnets
thats my effort. Don;t quote me though. I'm learning to... just thought i'd give it a shot..

Thanks for your help man! -

Probably best If somebody else checks it. want to be 100%.
Not sure where I read about the -2 for subnets thing. -
