subnet mask

Question

For an IP address, how will i calculate the subnet mask or it will be already given??

Answer 1

you can calculate it ....subnet-mask= number of 1s and 0s ..such that number of 1 indicate NETWORK BITS + SUBNET BITS...

while number of 0s indicate that how may host are possible in network.....

so just look out for network part and if subnets are there .....if are put all 1s and for host put 0 ...get doted-decimal value and you have SUBNET MASK for your network...
