Does ipv6 require a subnet mask?

It does not require a subnet mask.


How many ip addresses on a subnet?

Use the formula 2n - 2 to find the number of clients available in a subnet. The 'n' refers to the number of bits available for client addresses, and thus will vary depending on the starting network type (class A, B, or C). If you are using the 0th subnet (as in Cisco routers) then the formula is 2n


What is the subnet mask number to this IP address number 86.158.175.121?

Subnet mask for the above is 255.0.0.0


What is a subnet mass number?

The correct term is subnet mask instead of subnet mass. A subnet mask separates an IP address into the host address and the network address. It is a 32-bit number that can mask an IP address.


What is the result when changing from a subnet mask of 255.255.224.0 to a subnet mask of 255.255.240.0?

By changing subnet mask..from 255.255.224.0 to 255.255.240.0 Number of subnetworks increase and the number of host in each subnetwork decreases


What is your subnet mask number?

192.168.14.100


What is the number of subnet bits for 192.192.10.234?

1


Why is the address 172.31.255.255 with a sub net mask of 255.255.255.0 invalid as a host ID?

because that is the last number of the subnet. the last number in a subnet is used as the broadcast domain. the first number is also not usable. an example would be: id 192.168.20.XX subnet 0f 255.255.255.128 192.168.20.0 and 192.168.20.127 may not be used and 192.168.20.128 starts the next subnet making 192.168.20.128 and 192.168.20.255 not usable


What is the Maximum number of IP Addressse that can be assigned to hosts on a local subnet that has 255.255.255.224?

32 host per 8 subnet.


How many subnets are available in prefix?

It depends on how many bits you are using for the network prefix. The formula is 2n - 2 for the number of subnets available in a prefix, or 2n if you allow the use of the 0th subnet.


What enables an system to determine which part of an ip address represents the host and which part represents the network?

The subnet mask. The subnet mask consists of a certain number of ones, followed by a certain number of zeroes (in binary). The ones tell you how many bits in an IP address make up the network part; the zeroes are for the host.The subnet mask.

Given class C address with a default subnet mask How many possible subnets and usable hosts if 4 bits were borrowed?

that gives you 16 subnets with 14 usable IPs for hosts that is because one is for subnet and one for broadcas in that subnet for example: 192.168.1.0/28 - subnet number 192.168.1.15 -broadcast number usable IPs for hosts - IPs between them that is 14
