SUB NETWORKS

Introduction:-
With available IP network numbers rapidly becoming an endangered species, efficient use of this increasingly scarce resource is important.
This document describes how to split a single IP network number up so that it can be used on several different networks.

What are subnets?
A subnet is a way of taking a single IP network address and locally splitting it up so that this single network IP address can actually be used on several interconnected local networks. Remember, a single IP network number can only be used on a single network.
The important word here is locally: as far as the world outside the machines and physical networks covered by the sub-netted IP network are concerned, nothing whatsoever has changed - it is still just a single IP network. This is important - sub-networking is a local configuration and is invisible to the rest of the world.

DEFINATION:-A sub network, or subnet, is a logically visible subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a single network into two or more networks is called subnet ting and the networks created are called sub networks or subnets.

All computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with a common, identical, most-significant bit-group in their IP address. This results in the logical division of an IP address into two fields, a network or routing prefix and the rest field or host identifier. The rest field is an identifier for a specific "host" — either a computer, or a device, or specific network interface on a computer or device.
The routing prefix is expressed in CIDR notation. It is written as the first address of a network, followed by a slash character (/), followed by the bit-length of the prefix. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 is the prefix of

    A private network schema is a viable choice for internal IP addressing. Each office can have its own range to avoid conflicts with other locations if subnetted correctly. Assuming that all nodes and servers have only one interface, you should only need one public address per outward interface. In the diagram provided, you would only need one public IP address for the router connection to the Internet. Everything else can be addressed privately with the correct subnetting.…

(8 points)In this lab the router baseline configuration was erased to begin configuration on a router from scratch. In the lab we chose to enter a basic management setup on the router to place an IP address on one interface, and set an initial configuration dialog for ease of use. A secret and enabled password was created to provide security that avoids others from make configuration changes without the password. A virtual terminal password was also created for authorized users to access switches remotely. In the subnet…
