Subnet Cheat Sheet

Subnet Cheat Sheet

This is part of the Cisco Notes series on Mike’s World News.

I think one of the most important things to write down once you get into the testing center during the Cisco tutorial is your CIDR notation, with the # of hosts, and the full Subnet Mask.  I would go from /22 – /30, although that is my personal preference. 

CIDR Notation # of Hosts Subnet Mask
/30 4 (2 usable) 255.255.255.252
/29 8 (6 usable) 255.255.255.248
