N - network bits
H - host bits
If you are following the first octet rule, this is a class B network with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (N.N.H.H). We can subnet this by "borrowing" some bits from the host portion. There are 16 network bits and 16 host bits. There is a simple formula to calculate the proper subnet mask.
2 to the power of what equals at least 510(2^X)? We have a total of 16 host bits to borrow from. 2^1...2^2...2^3...Etc
2^9= 512 - 2 = 510 host addresses
We subtract two because the network and broadcast address are not usable addresses. As we can see we need at least 9 host bits to get 510 hosts per subnet.
Take 32 and subtract it from the host bits you need. So 32-9=23. Your subnet mask now has 23 network bits instead of 16.
In binary the original subnet mask would be 11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000.
In binary the new subnet mask is 11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000.
If you convert this into dotted decimal form you get 255.255.254.0.
TLDR: 172.30.0.0 - 172.30.1.255
255.255.254.0
The default mask 255.255.0.0 would do it. So would any subnet mask that had at least 10 host bits: 255.255.128.0 255.255.192.0 255.255.224.0 255.255.240.0 255.255.248.0 255.255.252.0 (1,022 hosts)
The idea is that you have enough bits in the host part (the zeroes at the end) to accomodate 510 hosts. That is, 9 or more bits at the right of the subnet mask should be zero. Like this:
11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000
Now just convert that to decimal.
Using the Windows Calculator (or doing it on paper, etc.) the complete subnet mask would be:
255.255.254.0
for your class B example. This would give you exactly 510 hosts. As suggested above, if you needed more than 510 you would add more zeroes at the end of the subnet mask.
As network administrator, what is the subnet mask that allows 510 hosts given the IP address 172.30.0.0?
255.255.255.0
utilize multiple subnet masks in the same IP address space
No, end devices cannot have .0 address assigned to them. It loosely refers to the entire network subnet.
To determine the network or subnet address of an IP address
advantage : classless protocols send subnet information. This allows you to create discontagious network with any given classful network address
This assumes you know how to subnet. On a network with 190.254.0.0 as a host address and using 11 bits for the subnet mask. The network address is 190.224.0.0 and the end of the range is 190.255.255.224. The address you show is within this range so cannot be the network address. If you don't know how to work this out manually use a subnet calculator such as the one on this URL: http://www.boson.com/FreeUtilities.html
255.255.255.0
yes
subnet maskis the network address plis the bit reseived to identfying subnetworking. a mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongto.An IP address has two components, the network address and the host address. sub netting enables the network administrator to futher divde the host part of the address into two or more subnet.

255.255.0.0 Class B 128.0.0.0 - 191.254.254.254 default subnet 255.255.0.0
Network address 10.1.1.0 Subnet mask 255.255.255.192255 - 62 = 193Because the value 255 is the broadcast address we get the number 192193 - 1 = 192the answer is 192Sorry for my poor English i mean my bad English.
The network address of an IPv4 address of 192.168.7.5 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 would be 192.168.7.0. Remember that the subnet mask determines the network portion of the IP Address.

When you set up a sub network you decide upon the subnet mask and this determines the network address (all zeros in the subnet portion of the address) and the broadcast address (all ones in the subnet portion of the address). When you assign the host addresses in your subnet, then you use the addresses between the network address and the broadcast address.
