Which numbers in a subnetwork are reserved for broadcasts?
Which numbers in a subnetwork are reserved for subnetwork numbers? How does the router handle IP addresses and subnet masks? How does the “Anding” operation change with different subnet masks? Introduction In Lesson 13 you learned how to determine the number of subnetworks that could be created each time a bit was borrowed from the host field. You also learned how to determine the number of hosts that could be assigned to each subnetwork. And you learned how to determine what the range and sequence of hosts on subnetworks would be. In this lesson, you will learn which numbers in a subnetwork are reserved and what they are reserved for. You will also learn how routers use subnet masks to determine how to route data on a network. Which numbers in a subnetwork are reserved for broadcasts? In Lesson 13 we used the example of a class “C” network in which three bits are borrowed from the host field. You learned that when three bits are borrowed from the host octet, up to eight subnetworks ca
