Understanding IP Addresses B-5

The following table lists the additional subnet mask bits in dotted-decimal notation. To use the

table, write down the original class netmask and replace the 0 value octets with the dotted-decimal

value of the additional subnet bits. For example, to partition your Class C network with subnet

mask 255.255.255.0 into 16 subnets (4 bits), the new subnet mask becomes 255.255.255.240.

The following table displays several common netmask values in both the dotted-decimal and the

masklength formats.

Note: The number 192.68.135.127 is not assigned because it is the broadcast address

of the first subnet. The number 192.68.135.128 is not assigned because it is the network

address of the second subnet.
