The number of bits assigned to the host in an IP address determines the maximum number of devices that can be connected to a particular network. Specifically, it defines the size of the host portion of the address, which dictates how many unique addresses are available for devices within that network. The more bits allocated to the host, the larger the potential number of devices, but this reduces the number of bits available for network identification. Conversely, fewer host bits allow for more networks but limit the number of devices per network.

What is host ip number?
A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address. Typically a computer, but it may also be a printer, a switch, a router port.A "host IP number" is an IP number that can be assigned to a host. This excludes the first and last IP address of each network, which can't be assigned to hosts.A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address.

How many network and host bits are available in ipv4?
In IPv4, there are a total of 32 bits in an IP address. The number of network and host bits varies depending on the subnet mask used. Typically, the first part of the bits represents the network portion, while the remaining bits represent the host portion. For example, in a common subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (or /24), there are 24 bits for the network and 8 bits for hosts.
How many hosts and host bits are possible if you have an IP of 172.30.1.33 with a network mask of 255.255.0.0?
number of hots bits is 16 number of hosts 65 534
Can 200.127.127.1 be assigned to a host?
There is already a computer on the Internet using this IP number so no.
What is the maximum number of bits that can be borrowed with class b?
The maximum number of host bits that can be borrowed from a class A address is 22 (technically you could borrow 23 but the resulting network would be useless). A class A address uses 8 bits for its network address and 24 bits for its host addresses. Class A uses a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 You can only borrow 22 bits (instead of 24) because a valid network requires 4 addresses: A network address, two host addresses and a broadcast address. These networks would result in 30 bits used for the network address and 2 bits used for the host addresses. These networks use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252
How many hosts are addressable on a network that has a mask of 255.255.255.248?
A subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 corresponds to a /29 prefix, which means there are 3 bits available for host addresses (since 32 bits total - 29 bits for the network = 3 bits for hosts). The formula for calculating the number of addressable hosts is 2^n - 2, where n is the number of host bits. Thus, 2^3 - 2 equals 6 addressable hosts on this network.
For an IP address what component decides the number of bits that is used to represent the host ID?
Subnet mask.
What are the necessary procedures in calculating subnet mask or simply subnetting?
To calculate a subnet mask, first determine the number of subnets or the number of hosts required, which will dictate how many bits you need to borrow from the host portion of the IP address. Convert the required number of bits into binary, then combine this with the default subnet mask for the IP class (Class A, B, or C). Finally, count the total number of bits used for the network (original bits plus borrowed bits) and convert this into the subnet mask format, typically expressed in CIDR notation (e.g., /24). Validate your calculation by ensuring the number of available subnets or hosts meets your requirements.
Use 2 bits to determine the subnet mask to make the host range?
If you are borrowing 2 bits, then the subnet masks will look like: 255.192.0.0 Class A 255.255.192.0 Class B 255.255.255.192 Class C
