Hi Guys,
Very basic question but lots of doubt.
1) First question:
If class C subnet 192.168.1.0 is routed to ISP-B (small) by ISP-A (BIG ISP).
When ISP B starts subneting the 192.168.1.0 IP block for different customer
why do he starts distributing from the first subnet from 192.168.1.0/24
(which sholdn't be used)???????????
The books and theory says first and last subnet shouldn't be used (as
network and broadcast subnets), hence we shouldn't use the
192.168.1.0/24(first subnet)
Means the ISP should start distributing from second subnets e.g.
192.168.1.32 (see below).
---------------------------------------------------------
Subnet , Valid Hosts , Broadcast
192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.30 , 192.168.1.31
192.168.1.32 , 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.62 , 192.168.1.63
192.168.1.64 , 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.94 , 192.168.1.95
192.168.1.96 , 192.168.1.97 to 192.168.1.126 , 192.168.1.127
192.168.1.128 , 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.158 , 192.168.1.159
192.168.1.160 , 192.168.1.161 to 192.168.1.190 , 192.168.1.191
192.168.1.192 , 192.168.1.193 to 192.168.1.222 , 192.168.1.223
192.168.1.224 , 192.168.1.225 to 192.168.1.254 , 192.168.1.255
1) Second question:
What if ISP starts distributing /25 /26 /27 IP blocks from 192.168.1.0/24 IP
block to the customers ? In this case what subnet mask shouldn't be used
(still first and the last in 192.168.1.0/24 blocks) ?
Appreciate your answers to this basic topic!
