networking
I have confused myself following a VLSM tutorial and need to get my understanding confirmed, would this be the correct format, or am i away off again
172.31.0.0 VLSM this network address for as many subnetworks as possible, with no more than 14 hosts in each subnetwork. Show the subnet mask used.
As the ip address is class b and contains 16 bits in the network portion, this means that we can have 2^16 = 65536 possible networks, to give each of these networks a maximum of 14 hosts we would use the subnet prefix \28 for each subnet.
Is this correct?
Thanks BB
