Why do we subnet :


  • You required high performance in the network.
  • You want to add security in the network.
  • To divide traffic as per department wise.
  • You need better control on the network infrastructure.

Class C Subnetting :

To calculate subnetting we borrow some bits from the host portion.

Class C Subnetting

255.255.255.0 /24 is the default subnet mask, so from /25 to /30 bits are available for us to calculate subnets.
