Public repo: sample content only. The complete topic library is stored separately.

Host and network portions

An IPv4 address has a network portion and a host portion. The subnet mask (or CIDR prefix) tells devices where to split the bits.

CIDRMaskUsable hosts (/24 example)
/24255.255.255.0254
/25255.255.255.128126
/26255.255.255.19262

Private ranges (RFC 1918)

  • 10.0.0.0/8
  • 172.16.0.0/12
  • 192.168.0.0/16

Use the subnetting trainer for procedurally generated drills — the public demo does not ship the full scenario question bank.
