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.

How many subnets and hosts per subnet can you get from the network 172.16.0.0?

There are 16 bits available; it is up to you how many of those bits you reserve for the subnet, and how many for the individual hosts within each subnet.


How can you create more subnets?

To create more subnets, you can use subnetting, which involves dividing a larger network into smaller, manageable segments. This is achieved by borrowing bits from the host portion of an IP address to create additional network bits, effectively increasing the number of available subnets. For example, if you start with a /24 subnet and borrow 2 bits, you can create 4 additional subnets with a /26 prefix. Ensure that the subnet mask and addressing scheme align with your network design and requirements.


What does it mean to borrow 4 bits for subnets?

When you borrow bits for a subnet you are intruding into the client portion of an IP address. As a result, you will lose clients in your network because the "borrowed" portion becomes the extended network prefix. This allows you to separate your bigger network into smaller, logical networks (subnets). The number of bits borrowed will indicate the total number of smaller subnets that you can support in your network. In each case, regardless of class of address, borrowing 4 bits gives a total of 14 subnets (in the classical sense) and 16 subnets (in Cisco).

What is a subnet mass?

An area of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP Addresses have the same prefix. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons. IP networks are divided using a subnet mask.
