The way you combine the /24 subnets is to change the subnet mask to a /22. (ie. 255.255.252.0) This makes it all one contiguous address space. Just change the subnet mask to 255.255.252.0 and ...

A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated based on a network configuration. By organizing hosts into logical groups, subnetting can improve network security and ...

Subnetting and creating subnet masks is often outsourced to consultants, but doing it yourself can be both challenging and rewarding. In the IT world, specifically in networking, there aren’t many ...

The bits in the mask identify both hosts and subnets. The more hosts, the fewer subnets; the more subnets, the fewer hosts can be individually addressed. These bits become a tradeoff based on the ...

In the last two articles, we talked about IPv4 basics (Part IV) (Part V). We introduced the concept of folding a sheet of paper to understand subnetting. Each fold of the paper is a bit borrowed from ...

If computers in an open network talk freely with one another and two computers start talking at the same time, you have a “data collision.” Collisions may be arbitrated via Carrier Sense Multiple ...
