Binary Method Example 2

172.16.35.123/20

FIRST CONVERT THE CONCERN & THE REMANING OCTET INTO BINARY

172.16.00100011.01111011

1. To workout the Network/Subnet Address

  • Fill the host portion of Address with Binary 0's (then convert it to Decimal)

  • 172.16.35.123 - 172.16.00100000.00000000.0

    (convert Binary into Decimal we get...)

  • Network Address = 172.16.32.0

    2. To workout the First Host Address in a Subnet

  • Fill the host portion of the Address with Binary 0's except for the last bit which is set to Binary 1 (then convert it to Decimal)

  • 172.16.35.123 - 00010000.00000001.0

    (convert Binary into Decimal we get...)

  • First Host Address = 172.16.32.1

    3. To workout the Last Host Address in a Subnet

  • Fill the host portion of the Address with Binary 1's except for the last bit which is set to Binary 0 (then convert it to Decimal)

  • 172.16.35.123 - 172.16.00101111.11111110

    (convert Binary into Decimal we get...)

  • Last Host Address = 172.16.47.254

    4. To workout the Broadcast Address

  • Fill the host portion of the Address with Binary 1's (then convert it to Decimal)

  • 172.16.35.123 - 172.16.00101111.11111111

    (convert Binary into Decimal we get...)

  • Broadcast Address = 172.16.47.255
