A subnet is a partition of a network on which multiple devices or connections may exist, set apart from the network host. If you have multiple computers on a network, you may wish to determine whether they are part of the same subnet. This is useful for understanding the flow of data within a network. To do this, you will need to do some binary conversion and calculation. 192 converts to 11000000 (128 + 64) 168 converts to 10101000 (128 + 32 + 8) 1 converts to 00000001 100 converts to 01100100 (64 + 32 + 4) Likewise, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 converts to: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 11000000.10101000.00000001.01100100 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 The result would be 11000000.10101000.00000001.00000000 Writer Bio
