IP Subnet (Anyone able to help me with my assignment?) hehe online, understand, calculator, studying

Sorry I just started studying IP subnetting and VLSM
I have a few questions for subnetting, just wondering if someone can give me a hand ^_^
this is what I have to do..

• The     entire class “A” address 10.0.0.0 uses a class “C” subnet mask. How many     valid subnets are available and how many hosts are supported?

I know using online subnet calculator should work but instead of using such thing I rather understand how to calculate it step by step.  I got this as my own answer but I'm not sure if it is right "256 subnets and 254 hosts"

The professionals can you give me a hand? ^_^ thanks

65536 subnets and 254 hosts for each subnet

how did 65536  being calculated? mind giving me an idea if it's too much to write?

et1984

I think I get it....so if it's a class A 10.0.0.0 with a class b mask then it'll be reversed 254*254 hosts and 256 subnets?

arg I shouldn't take database and network at the same thing I kept on thinking of my ERD at this moment because I have a project to hand in tomorrow but my network homework needed to be handed in the day after

Thanks a lot guys hopefully I didn't annoy you guys if I didn't fully understand and kept on asking.

ah...so there's no complicated calculation like 2 to the power of how many host and net bits just simple calculations between the octets.

et1984

ah ! right! thanks thanks....sigh just a simple mistake will ruin the whole network....

et1984

just wonna confirm I didn't get it wrong again so let's say my first question
class A ---> class c
10.0.0.0 with class c mask so the first subnet id will be 10.0.0.0 and the first host ip will be 10.0.0.1 last host ip for that subnet will be 10.0.0.254
10.0.1.0 will be the 2nd subnet id and first host ip for it will be 10.0.1.1 and so on....

right? ^_^

Great job! I always say that LYK members are all talent and genius, and you are definitely one of t ...

haha too early to say that yet....that's only one question of my assignment and there are 5 more questions....and I have to hand them in tomorrow....hopefully I can and WILL know how to do them tomorrow morning haha....
I guess for that question I concentrated too much on those power of 2 stuffs because in class we did few questions and we always use the power of 2 so I kept on thinking about power of 2 with that class a with class c mask question....

again....thanks a lot mcjohnjohn ^_^ and prelude ^_^ I might bother you 2 again sometime soon hahaha...hope you guys don't mind !~!

How many subnets can you make if you want to break up the 200.1.200.0 network into pieces that contain 30 pc’s in each segment?

Am I getting on the right track that it should be only 4 subnets because for 30pcs we need at least 6 host bits each time since 5 host bits will be too less.

et1984

just need 5 octets for 30 hosts.
2^5 =32, remove the first and last IP address, there are 30 IP add ...

Hehe....I guess the instructor is asking for real life situation because it is right for 5 bits for 30 hosts but what about the network? it won't be enough so using 6 bits and I got the answer right with 4 subnets hehe...congratz me hehe...

but I think I'll need your help with a few questions because I'm having a midterm next week and he is gonna give us some questions to do but guess what...NO ANSWERS!!!!! so I won't even know if I'm on the right track or not
hope you don't mind....

P.S. stupid firefox wouldn't let me reply kept on telling me about this site attacked people with viruses >.<"

et1984

real life situation rocks! hahaha

I know haha....and in class today he even mentioned becareful...better ask if they'll need an ip for wireless printer and all other stuffs because those people don't know internet as much as we do so so can' t just assign them with the minumun requirement hahaha
