The Revised version of IPv4 Subnetting


By referring to EE Tech News volume 9 December 2015 in page 3 or the link http://eetechnews.blogspot.com/2015/11/ipv4-subnetting.html, the revised version of the rules of borrowing bits from host portion to create subnet ID is between 1 bit to the maximum host bit. It means that if we borrow the host portion in Class A, the maximum bit is 24 bit while class B and C are 16 and 8 bit respectively. If the maximum host portion is borrowed to create subnetting, there is no host at all. The revised version is implemented in order to fully utilise the IPv4.
IPv4 size is 32-bit and it is represented as X.X.X.X which X comprises 8-bit (1 octet). In Cisco examinations, you are not allowed to use the calculator. Thus, it is important for you to remember the value of each of the binary-to-decimal conversion and the IPv4 classes. Table 1 shows the value that you should remember. Table 2 shows the usage of IPv4 including the reserved IP address. Multicast IP address such as 224.0.0.5 is used for server OSPF for the Whatsapp Group. Class E IPv4 is for research purposes which mostly used by USA universities.
