Class
C Subnetting
You can recognise a Class C address because the
first octet is a number from 192 to 223 inclusive. So any
of the below IP addresses are Class C.
192.1.2.4
200.2.3.5
223.1.2.3
Network devices recognise a Class C address as
such because the numbers are checked in binary and the first number
in the first octet always begins with the binary number 110.
Check the binary section for more info on that.
Class C addresses lock the first three octets for
network numbers. The remaining three octets can be used for
host numbers. It works like this:
| Network |
Network |
Network |
Host |
| 223 |
23 |
2 |
4 |
In the above example 223.23.2 is the network number
and .4 is a host on that network.
Please note that Class A, B and C addresses are
only called such for historical purposes now and you may find that
your company could be allocated a Class A address or even one for
your home IP address for your broadband connection.
VLSM means
that we don't have to concern ourselves with Classes of address
anymore.
Subnetting Secrets Works
"Hi Paul
| I can now
subnet any network into the required number of subnets
(or hosts) due to your training materials. I understood
the theory of IP addressing (and the binary system)
before I began using your secrets but I did not know how
to subnet quickly and easily until I began using your
subnet calculation method. |

I passed the final Microsoft exam two weeks after
receiving Subnetting Secrets."
