The bits in the mask identify both hosts and subnets. The more hosts, the fewer subnets; the more subnets, the fewer hosts can be individually addressed. These bits become a tradeoff based on the ...

A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated based on a network configuration. By organizing hosts into logical groups, subnetting can improve network security and ...

I have a networking situation where some tools can or can't communicate between two devices on the same LAN but differing subnet masks (it's an error, will be corrected). The question is why do some ...

Subnetting and creating subnet masks is often outsourced to consultants, but doing it yourself can be both challenging and rewarding. In the IT world, specifically in networking, there aren’t many ...

Subnet Mask divides the IP address into two segments and informs the computer which part is the network bit and which one is the host bit. For example, if there is an IP address: 192.168.0.1, it will ...

Supernetting was created as a way to solve the problem of routing tables growing beyond our current ability to manage the exhaustion of Class B network address space. Much like one area code ...

I give up.. I have a physically isolated iSCSI LAN. So my servers have a NIC on the production LAN, configured with DNS, subnet, domain suffix etc. and they have a NIC (or NICs) on the iSCSI LAN with ...

If computers in an open network talk freely with one another and two computers start talking at the same time, you have a “data collision.” Collisions may be arbitrated via Carrier Sense Multiple ...
