Default subnet calculator



can anyone tell me where i can get an online calculator that will calculate
the sbnets available for an IP address?

i have found ones claiming to be subnet calculators but all they do is let
me see the host range etc. i want one that willlist al of the available
subnets

Thanks

Can you elaborate? It's not clear exactly what you mean by "subnets
available for an IP address".

That is all a subnet calculator does. I guess you want something else.

yeah, i think my maths might be wrong somewhere too

for instance IP 200.10.10.0/24

would only have one network

Subnet Network Min IP Max IP
Broadcast
0 200.10.10.0 200.10.10.1 200.10.10.254 200.10.10.255

where as subnet 200.10.10.0/28 would have 16? you get me?

Subnet Network Min IP Max IP
Broadcast
0 200.10.10.0 200.10.10.1 200.10.10.14
200.10.10.15
1 200.10.10.16 200.10.10.17 200.10.10.30
200.10.10.31

200.10.10.239
15 200.10.10.240 200.10.10.241 200.10.10.254
200.10.10.255

i was told with a 24 mask it should have 16 too by my ccna instructor? i
used a calculator to get these results but with a /24 should it be the first
example i gave or should there be 16 subnet networks?

sorry that post got messed up to view the results go to

http://ccna.exampointers.com/sub.php

try 200.10.10.0 with a 24 mask and a 28 mask

i am just confused about the /24 and /28 what they mean exactly

The "/nn" (CIDR) notation and subnet masks are two different ways of
expressing the same thing. Write a subnet mask in binary, eg 255.255.255.0:

11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000

There are 24 leading ones, so a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is equivalent
to /24.

Written in binary, subnet masks always consist of a number of leading ones,
with the remaining digits being zero (and a total of 32 digits). Doing the
reverse of the above, /28 means 28 leading ones and is equivalent to:

11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000

This is 255.255.255.240 in decimal.

Learn how to do binary maths then it all becomes crystal clear.

And also check out www.learntosubnet.com. Subnets are NOT the mystical
black magic some people make them out to be, they are really very simple
once you understand binary and the logical AND function.
