Cisco Packet Tracer - Subnetting a Network A sub network or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called sub netting. Subnetting offers many advantages. Some of them are. 1. It provides security to the network. 2. Speeds up the network thus improving the performance of the network. 3. It allows for better organization of the resources. Procedure: To create a subnet, first we need to have proper planning as to how many subnets we need and how many we may need in the future. Presently, I need three subnets. The number of subnets should always be calculated in the powers of 2. 2 to the power of 1 = 2 This doesn’t satisfy our requirement as we need three subnets. 2 to the power of 2 = 4 This satisfies our requirement. So we need to take two bits from the host portion of the IP address. 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.255 is the address range available to us with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, Wr
