Answer 3

No, I mean the actual core binary principles. Not a calculator. I need to understand the principles, not just calculate.

Answer 4

Subnetting is the act of breaking up a network into separate parts so that one can have multiple (sub)networks on a larger network. With the introduction of IPV6 subnetting will more than likely slowly disappear.
When you subnet you take parts of the host address and change it to a network address.

Answer 5

The first link has all the information you need to understand subnetting and IP Addresses the second one to help you with the calculation and check your understanding

Answer 6

Its similar to your phone number: country code + area code + phone number

Answer 7

If you still need help with Subnetting I can give you a set of base10 (the numbers we use) to base2 (Binary 1s and 0s) My networking instructor gave me! At first I could NOT do it even with a calculator, until he had me write down a scale and a break down. After that I had no further problems! Let Me Know!!

Answer 8

it is a process of breaking a large network into smaller ones , which helps in achieving security, speed and minimal congestion.
it is of two type 1: based on network (where networks are divided into smaller networks)
2: based on hosts (where number of hosts are divided in smaller network group)
