On borrowing x bits we can make maximum of 2 x subnets In given problem, default mask of class C 255.255.255.0 is used. Hence number of borrowed bits =0 Maximum number of subnets = 2 0 =1 Each subnet will have maximum of 2 y -2 hosts, where y is the unborrowed bits Here no of nborrowed bits = 8 Maximum number of hosts per subnet = 2 8 - 2 =254 sh!va answered Oct 13, 2016 sh!va comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
