Which subnet is host 20.100.55.3 /26 in?
Use the Subnetting Secrets Chart© again.
1. How many subnets?
2^18 = 262144
2. How many hosts per subnet?
2^6 – 2 = 62
3. What are the valid subnets?
256 – 192 = 64
20.0.0.0
20.0.0.64
20.0.0.128, etc.
20.0.14.192
20.0.15.0, etc.
4. What are the valid hosts per subnet/broadcast?
The subnet values need to be added to the second, third, and fourth octets. The last octet must be multiples of 64, and 0 is permitted as long as there are bits turned on on the second and third octets. Below are the starting subnets.
| Subnets | 20.0.0.0 | 20.0.0.64 | 20.0.0.128 | 20.0.0.192 | 20.0.1.0 |
| First host | 20.0.0.1 | 20.0.0.65 | 20.0.0.129 | 20.0.0.193 | 20.0.1.1 |
| Last host | 20.0.0.62 | 20.0.0.126 | 20.0.0.190 | 20.0.0.254 | 20.0.1.62 |
| Broadcast | 20.0.0.63 | 20.0.0.127 | 20.0.0.191 | 20.0.0.255 | 20.0.1.63 |
And more subnets:
| Subnets | 20.100.54.128 | 20.100.54.192 | 20.100.55.0 | 20.100.55.64 | 20.100.55.128 |
| First host | 20.100.54.129 | 20.100.54.193 | 20.100.55.1 | 20.100.55.65 | 20.100.55.129 |
| Last host | 20.100.54.190 | 20.100.54.254 | 20.100.55.62 | 20.100.55.126 | 20.100.55.190 |
| Broadcast | 20.100.54.191 | 20.100.54.255 | 20.100.55.63 | 20.100.55.127 | 20.100.55.191 |
We can continue counting up but to get to the subnet containing host 20.100.55.3 would take some time. It is to be found in subnet 20.100.55.0.
Subnet 20.100.55.0 hosts 20.100.55.1 – 20.100.55.62 (broadcast = 20.100.55.63).
