How can subnet provide security?

By subnetting you can divide the network in to separate enclaves and impose controls between them - if one subnet is compromised, it does not automatically grant access to other subnets.

To Know any subnet of this IP you must provide the Subnet mask, otherwise it is impossible to know what is the subnet.

Security. People on the larger network can't see the smaller subnet, good for departments like Research.

What is subnet mask?

A subnet mask is something that divides the IP address into a host and network. It is a very confusing thing but it will also let you see the IP address of the user.

True


A company is planning to subnet its network for a maximum of 27 host .which subnet mask would provide the needed hosts and leave the fewest unused addresses in each subnet?

255.255.255.224 would give 32 per subnet or for ex. 192.168.1.1/27 leaving 5 bits or 2-5th power =32


What is the main characteristic of a subnet?

The main characteristic of a subnet is that it partitions a larger network into smaller, manageable segments, allowing for efficient IP address management and improved network performance. Each subnet has its own unique subnet mask, which defines the range of IP addresses within that segment and facilitates routing among different subnets. This structure enhances security and reduces network congestion by localizing traffic within each subnet.


What is a subnet mass number?

There is no technical term called "subnet mass number." It might be a misconstrued term. Subnetting is dividing a network into smaller subnetworks for better organization and security. Mass number is used in chemistry to denote the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.


Why should you create subnets?

Subnets allow to isolate traffic within a subnet. It is beneficial not only from security perspective but also from performance.


What is a subnetting calculator used for?

A Subnet calculator is used for determining the attributes of an IP subnet including the start of it. Results of the subnet calculation include the access control lists, the subnet range and the subnet bitmap.


Is 192.168.12.8 and 192.198.12.65 in the same subnet?

No. 192.168.12.1 - 192.168.12.254 is one subnet (assuming 255.255.255.0 subnet mask)


What is the difference between the subnet mask for a Class A address with 16 bits for the subnet ID and a class B address with 8 bits for the subnet ID?

In a Class A address, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0, allowing for a large number of hosts within a single network, but with 16 bits designated for the subnet ID, the subnet mask becomes 255.255.0.0. In contrast, a Class B address has a default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, and with 8 bits for the subnet ID, the subnet mask would typically be 255.255.255.0. Thus, the key difference lies in the number of bits allocated for the subnet ID and the resulting subnet masks, affecting the number of available subnets and hosts per subnet.
