What are subdomains used for?
A subdomain is, as the name would suggest, an additional section of your main domain name. You create subdomains to help organize and navigate to different sections of your main website. Within your main domain, you can have as many subdomains as necessary to get to all of the different pages of your website.
What is subnetting how subnetting is done?
Subnetting is the process of stealing bits from the HOST part of an IP address in order to divide the larger network into smaller sub-networks called subnets. We always reserve an IP address to identify the subnet and another one to identify the broadcast subnet address.
What is an example of subnetting?
Example: A class C network would have a subnet mask of 255.255. 255.0 which means that 24 bits are used for the network. In CIDR notation this is designated by a /24 following the IP address.
How subnetting is done?
The address is made up of 32 binary bits, which can be divisible into a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask. The 32 binary bits are broken into four octets (1 octet = 8 bits). Each octet is converted to decimal and separated by a period (dot).
How does subnetting work in a computer network?
Subnetting is a process of dividing a single large network in multiple smaller networks. A single large network is just like a town without any sector and street address.
What do the special addresses represent in subnetting?
In Subnetting we break a single large network in multiple small networks. These networks are known as subnets. In each network there are two special addresses; network address and broadcast address. Network address represents the network itself while broadcast address represents all the hosts which belong to it.
Can a network be divided into four subnets?
Just like town is divided in sectors, this network can also be divided in subnets. Once network is divided in subnets, computers will receive only the broadcasts which belong to them. Since company has four departments, it can divide its network in four subnets.
What are the eligible bits in subnetting Class C?
Since in class C network space Subnetting eligible bits starts from 25 and Subnetting always goes from left to right without skipping any bit, the bits used in this network are 25 and 26. It’s a compact representation of Subnet mask.
