Subnetting Flashcards
Subnetting
The process of taking a large network and splitting it up into many individual and smaller networks aka subnets
IP Classes
Gives a way to break the total global IP space into discrete networks
Subnet masks
32 bit numbers that are normally written out as 4 octets in decimal. Ignore the ones and use the zeros
OR
If either digit is a true, the result is true, otherwise it’s false.
T+F=T
F+T=T
F+F=F
T+T=T
AND
If both values are True, the result is True.
T+T=T
T+F=F
F+F=F
F+T=F
CIDR
Classless inter-domain routing
Expands on the concept of subnetting by using masks to demarcate networks.
Demarcation Point
Describes where one network or system ends and another one begins.
The network ID and subnet ID are combined.
