Answer / vijay
a subnet mask can be changed as per the hosts/subnets requirement.default subnet mask is whats been the default for a particular address class(class C=255.255.255.0, class B=255.255.0.0 class A = 255.0.0.0).
but we can use a class C address with subnet 255.255.0.0 i.e 192.168.1.2/16 if we need more hosts.
hope this helps

Answer / amar pratap
The default subnet mask just inbuild network portion(bits)
which is already define.in ipv4 class A has default subnet
mask is 255.0.0.0,for Class B =255.255.0.0,and for class C
= 255.255.255.0, where as subnet mask represent the number
of bits used by network and rest for Host(after
subnetting).if there is no subnetting occur in network then
the both are same.

Subnet mask represents the number of bits used by the network and rest for host.
Default mask is inbuilt network portion which is already defined in IPV4 classes.
In office networks subnet mask is used.
In home networks default mask is used.

I wish to understand How to subnet a class c address I understand the principle of subnetting as 192.168.5.0 /24 1st Subnet > 192.168.5.1 Last address > 192.168.5.126 192.168.5.127 is Broadcast address 2nd Subnet > 192.168.5.128 last address > 192.168.5.254 Even the division into 4 Subnets , i Know the formula but still am having to understand HOW TO CONFIGURE ON THE TCP/IP CONFIGURATION LOCAL AREA NETWORK HOW TO PUT THE SUBNET WHERE TO PUT THE SUBNET Am studying the Network + Afterwards The MCSE , CCNA ,CCNP I got a scenario > 260 hosts , DHCP , DNS , 1 GATEWAY ,1 wireless access point on the Network address 192.168.2.0 /24 to document the IP Scheme & Configure afterwards PLease do me a favour to explaine me how to handle this , I have been through e -books , sites of Techtutorial and so on but nobody gives the explanations of how to do it , How to nanage the configuration .
