Hi,

With the subnet mask of 255.255.255.192, we can following subnets in 172.22.17.x range.

Subnet 1

*********

Network:172.22.17.0/26

Range: 172.22.17.1-172.22.17.62

Broadcast Address: 172.22.17.63

Subnet 2

*********

Network 172.22.17.64/26

Range: 172.22.17.65 - 172.22.17.126

Broadcast Address: 172.22.17.127

Subnet 3

*********

Network: 172.22.17.128/26

Range: 172.22.17.129 - 172.22.17.190

Broadcast Address: 172.22.17.191

Subnet 4:

*********

Network: 172.22.17.192/26

Range: 172.22.17.193 - 172.22.17.254

Broadcast Address: 172.22.17.255

The ip 172.22.17.122 falls in subnet 2.

Hello Chialun,

It all comes down to binary math

With the given mask 255.255.255.192, the fourth octect is interesting.

192 equals 1100.0000 in binary.

Decimal to binary conversion

64 ..... 0100.0000 ==> network

[...]

122 .... 0111.1100

[...]

127 ..... 0111.1111 ==> broadcast

-----------------

192 ... 1100.0000 ==> mask

The range 65 through 126 are valid IP addresses.

There are some FREE ip subnet calculater found on the internet.

U could achieve it easily, on this rule:

255.255.255.255

- 255.255.255.192

= 0. 0. 0.063 - Range

Each Subnet has a range of 0-63 addresses.

Counting, the reserved, 1st one to Subnet Address, and last one to BroadCast, easily found, what someone already wrote in the thread.
