[@gsmith2000994]

Take away the amount of device hosts you need from 256. Assuming /24 major network, 30 hosts (remember you need 2 for network and broadcast), 256-32, then the mask is 255.255.255.224. Need 64, you need 2 for network and BC so then the largest subnet you need, which is 128, means 256 -128= 128, so the mask has to be 255.255.255.128. As for working out notation from /24 think how many times do I need to split to get to the subnet size, need 32? 256÷2=128÷2=64÷2=32, I split it 3 times, therefore 24+3=27, so a 224 network is /27 notation.

[@reapersntg7777]

I think there's a mistake about the broadcast address. The broadcast address is normaly the last address of a (sub)network, and not the last -1 like you said. That's why a 30 hosts would'nt fit in a CIDR /27 subnetwork according your video. Uppon this mistake, I found your explanations really good !

that's what I also think, but it's a great explanation

Hello Ma'am, I have a question if I have 7 host, what do I use 8 or 16? Thank you for making this video!😊

[@EastCharmer]

Hello there! You're welcome and I'm glad you liked the video. Ok so typically, rule of thumb when designing networks is if you have 7 hosts you should go for the number that is more than the number of hosts and can also accommodate the broadcast address within that network. So if you have 7 hosts and then increment that is more than number of hosts is 8, you should still have to consider the 2 broadcast address that you need to reserve and also being able to accommodate more hosts in the future for scalability. So 16 would be ideal if you have 7 hosts.

[@deadgolfer6345]

Great video on how to create networks of given sizes. And great personality for making videos. I feel like I could listen all day. But if I'm being critical (sorry), why reference classful addressing here? It's use was discontinued over 30 years ago. Am I wrong to say it doesn't have anything in the world to do with creating subnets for an office today? Also, it would probably help to have masks on those networks. Sorry.

[@EastCharmer]

Thanks for the feedback. This video was more on the showing the concept on how to apply VLSM on networks. Regardless of the class of the address , the concept and steps should be the same. I made this about 3+ years ago I think and this is more for answering exams coz I think back them subnetting and VLSM are part of Networking exams. And I made this video because people requested for it. I agree that it may not have practical use now.

[@roseactive2135]

Hi ❤ thanks a lot for that. I am wondering how to do it when the number of hosts are 16000 Is there a shortcut for that?

[@EastCharmer]

you're welcome! It should be the same method. First we need to determine the number of host bits required to represent 16000 hosts. Then we need to determine the number of bits we should use for subnetting. This is by subtracting the host bits from the total bits of 32. Then last is we can determine the number of subnets and number of hosts from the subnet bits from step 2

[@asdfasddfs5484]

thank you

[@EastCharmer]

You're very welcome!

[@ThatOkidu3d]

what about the Cidr for the networks?

[@Syntaxstic]

I never used VLSM in production. I just use /24 everywhere for every VLAN.

[@EastCharmer]

well it depends on the admin but at work we typically use /32 for network interfaces coz it will only have two hosts. it's more practical than using /24 and waste all 20 ip address for network interfaces

[@Syntaxstic]

@@EastCharmer in my case I’m not really wasting anything.

[@wandercharm]

@@Syntaxstic yeah it always depends on the environment you have. we work with developers who constantly needs test VM so we're being practical with our subnetting

[@fmfm2020]

Would you make class B subnetting

[@ketogenicapproach8823]

Hi, what would the subnet mask be for these? I am a little confused

[@EastCharmer]

Hey, subnet mask will depend and vary on how you would divide the networks. You would base the subnet mask for each network based on the number of bits being borrowed. For example, for the wan links that only needs 2 hosts, you need to borrow 2 bits and if you would write this in bits it would be 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100 (the zeroes represents the borrowed bits) . If you count all the bits(ones) in that mask, it will be 30 total hence /30. So for the network that needs 2 hosts, subnet mask would be 255.255.255.252 in decimal form. I know it's not easy to visualize and it's also hard to explain without illustrating it :( but I hope that helps

[@Mi-Go]

Learning isn't easy when you're distracted by how pretty the teacher is 💀

[@omesh5710]

What if you have 32 users? Do you go for the 64 because you need IPs for the default gateway and broadcast address or do you just select the 32?

[@EastCharmer]

Yes you have to go for 64 and always add 2 for the reserved addresses. Also when designing subnets it's best to think of scalability to make it easier to add more machines to a network when needed

I guess my really big confusion is after you get done using the block number in the X amount of hosts what do you do then?

so we have lots of address left, so let's say in a new place after we have done all this, we need 100 more host in this then how we have to do that.

[@deadgolfer6345]

Most likely, to be safe, you would probably make all these networks much, much bigger in the first place. She used these examples to illustrate how you would do it in theory. But running out of IPs to assign to your office is unlikely. There are millions of them at your disposal. But if you really need 100 more, just create a bigger network that does not overlap with any existing network you have.
