Subnetting Reference
What is Subnetting?
Subnetting is the process of dividing a large network into smaller, more manageable sub-networks (subnets). This improves network performance, security, and organization by reducing broadcast domains and improving IP allocation efficiency.
IPv4 vs IPv6
- IPv4: 32-bit address space (4.3 billion addresses), uses subnet masks
- IPv6: 128-bit address space (340 undecillion addresses), uses prefix lengths
- IPv6 eliminates the need for NAT and provides built-in security
- IPv6 has simplified address assignment and auto-configuration
Common IPv4 Subnet Masks
| CIDR | Subnet Mask | Hosts | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| /24 | 255.255.255.0 | 254 | Small networks |
| /25 | 255.255.255.128 | 126 | Medium networks |
| /26 | 255.255.255.192 | 62 | Department networks |
| /27 | 255.255.255.224 | 30 | Small offices |
| /28 | 255.255.255.240 | 14 | Server clusters |
| /30 | 255.255.255.252 | 2 | Point-to-point links |
Advanced Subnetting Techniques
- VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking): Allows different subnet masks in the same network for efficient address allocation
- CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing): Aggregates multiple IP networks into a single routing entry to reduce routing table sizes
- Supernetting: Combining multiple contiguous networks into a larger network
- IPv6 Prefix Delegation: Automatically assigns network prefixes to customer sites
- Hierarchical Addressing: Creates multiple levels of subnet hierarchy for large organizations
