7-6 Setting Up the IP Addresses (IP Host Setup)
Example of Subnetting:
For example, a Class C network (255.255.255.0) contains three masked octets (255.255.255). The
last octet (0) is leftover for remaining nodes (i.e., computers).
If Router D is reading IP Addresses 195.172.3.1 (let's call this IP Address 1) and 195.172.3.64 (let's
call this IP Address 2) on this Class C network, it would send IP Address 1 to Subnet A and IP Address
2 to Subnet B. The remaining nodes in each subnet (A through D) on this network can contain up to
254 pieces of network equipment (computers, printers, fax machines, bridges or routers, etc.).
