    Very good explanation. I now fully understand subnet masks. The only downside is that u made an error for the Class B subnet mask. The example that was used is a Class C default subnet mask. Class B = 255.255.0.0 while Class C = 255.255.255.0. Still a good video however and I now have a better understanding. Thank you!

    A router does not typically use a subnet mask to dermine a host portion and network portion. The only time it might use one is when it is sourcing a packet. The router utilizes the subnet mask to determine whether the destination address of the packet is on the local subnet. The router still uses subnet masks stored in its routing table to process packets but not to determine a host and network portion.

    Thank you Greg, this was a wonderfully explained video. I don't mind your small refreshers on things like binary and ANDing because you explained them very carefully, and nothing was missed if one skipped forward a bit. Great video, and you really talked about what matters instead of what doesn't.

    A Class A subnet mask reflects the network portion in the first octet and leaves octets 2, 3, and 4 for the network manager to divide into hosts and subnets as needed. Class A is for networks with more than 65,536 hosts.
    A Class B subnet mask claims the first two octets for the network, leaving the remaining part of the address, the 16 bits of octets 3 and 4, for the subnet and host part. Class B is for networks with 256 to 65,534 hosts.
    In a Class C subnet mask, the network portion is the first three octets with the hosts and subnets in just the remaining 8 bits of octet 4. Class C is for smaller networks with fewer than 254 hosts.
    Class A, B, and C networks have natural masks, or default subnet masks:
    Class A: 255.0.0.0
    Class B: 255.255.0.0
    Class C: 255.255.255.0
    You can determine the number and type of IP addresses any given local network requires based on its default subnet mask.
    An example of Class A IP address and subnet mask would be the Class A default submask of 255.0.0.0 and an IP address of 10.20.12.2.

    I really like how the video straightforward explains the subject matter at its baseline without bringing too much technical jargon into it.
    Is my basic understanding correct?
    Subnet purpose: make networks more manageable and prevent them from overloading with too many users/machines.
    Subnet mask purpose: Allow a computer to check whether another computer is local or remote.

    The classes of Subnet Masks at 3:49 shows Class A using 255 in the first octet, Class B using 255 in the first and second octets, and Class C using 255 in the first, second, and third octets. At 6:40 an example of a Class B shows 255 in the first three octets. Why is it not 255 in only the first and second? Wouldn't that be a Class C example?

    • @GregFrench
      @GregFrench  Před 7 lety +1

      You need to look at the binary numbers to understand how the computer uses the subnet mask to determine the network and host portion of the address. Hope this helps.

    • @johnceena9799
      @johnceena9799 Před 6 lety +6

      the default subnet for class B is 255.255.0.0 but in the second case he kept the custom subnet mask for the given class B address. It is bacause 8 bits has been borrowed from the host portion to subnet the given IP..

  • @NatureandSpirit111
    @NatureandSpirit111 Před 3 lety

    So the subnet masking is a bitwise function essentially in order to separate what nodes can see as a security measure but also for segmenting the network jobs. A router needs to assume as few responsibilities as possible to speed up the network. A small router with minimal processing power and less ram needs to deal with smaller instruction sets.

    I'm confused a bit. If you create 2 logical networks from the outer network, so the two subnet's IPs are 135.68.2.0 and 135.68.3.0, does that mean the first three octets of the subnet mask make up the network address, and the 4th octet is for the host addresses, and therefore a class C subnet mask?

  • @ronnybanerjee6020
    @ronnybanerjee6020 Před 6 lety +2

    Hello sir, I understand that you are creating a new subnet by using binary 1s in the 1st 3 octets. But that way, the 1st 3 octets are reserved for network portion and the last octet for host portion. That is clearly understandable. But why is it going to be an example of class B IP address?? This scheme is used of classifying class C IP right??

    • @GregFrench
      @GregFrench  Před 6 lety +2

      The Classes only refer to the numbers in the first octet of the IP address. The 1's in the subnet mask determine the network portion and the 0.s the host portion.

    So a subnet mask basically separates or "filters" IP addresses into two different portions - the network portion and the host portion. Correct? So the host is the entire network itself and the other IPs are for nodes or the individual computers, right? Thanks for the lecture! :D

    • @GregFrench
      @GregFrench  Před 7 lety +3

      The Class B default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 and by setting binary ones reserves the first and second octet for network addresses. The next two octets have zeros which is reserves these octets for host addressing. By setting ones in the third octet we are telling devices to consider the third octet as part of the network address and this creates a new subnet. Hope this helps.
