Subnet Masks
nIf we have the
following two addresses and corresponding
subnet masks: 130.91.17.17/24 and
130.91.17.49/28
–How would host “1”
with its subnet mask of 24 interpret the
address of host “2”?
•Would recognize it as
a host on the same subnet (subnet ID=17) with
host ID 49!
–How would host “2”
with its subnet mask of 28 interpret the
address of host “1”?
•Would recognize it as
a host on a different subnet. Its subnet ID is
275 whilst other subnet ID is 273!
