Shifting to the right won't accomplish anything. To find the class of the address, look at the first octet in the address. You can either look for the range of addresses for a class, or look at the first 3 bits in the first octet:
First octetAddress Class0-127Class A128-191Class B192-223Class C224-239Class D240-255Class E
0nnnnnnn. First octet class A range (first bit is 0)
10nnnnnn. First octet class B range (first bits are 10)
110nnnnn. First octet class C range (first bits are 110)
It is easiest just to look at the range.
Class B, if you are referring to classful addressing schemes.
Depends on your subnet mask. If you are talking about a classful addressing scheme in a class B, then the network would be 172.32.0.0
In classful addressing, the class of an IP address can be determined by the value in the first octet: 0 - 126 class A 128 - 191 class B 192 - 223 class C
True
The difference between classful IP addressing and classless IP addressing is in selecting the number of bits used for the network ID portion of an IP address. In classful IP addressing, the network ID portion can take only the predefined number of bits 8, 16, or 24. In classless addressing, any number of bits can be assigned to the network ID.
The first 16 bits is the location of the Class B IPv4 address network ID based in classful addressing. 16 bit is an expression used for microcomputers with 16-bit microprocessors.
This is a Class B address. So if classful addressing scheme we can say that the default mask of any Class B address is 255.255.0.0. But it may not be always this. There is a concept called VLSM (variable length subnet mask) with which we have the option to give different subnet masks.
The IP address is = 200.168.212.226Binary representation of first byte '200' = 11001000The classful addressing of IP address is done according to the following rule:http://www.eventhelix.com/realtimemantra/networking/images/ip_address_classes.gifThe starting three bits of 200 is 110So, the given IP address falls under class C.Best wishes,Aniruddha GhoshJadavpur UniversityIndia
classfull netwok means all range of IPs have the same of subnetmask classless network means there is different in subnetmask of networks for examble i have two network connected through routers the first network ip is 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.192 the secound network ip is 10.1.2.1.0 255.255.255.240 for more information contact me on monkez_3@hotmail.com
According to this site (http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2002/IPaddressing.asp), it is part of a class C network.
A classful class B network has a network range of 128 - 191. For host addresses, anything that is legal for an IP address in the last 2 octets would be a valid host address for a class B with no subnets.
In classfull addressing schemes each address class limited the total number of clients per network. Other than that, there are no particular functions for each address class.
