Question

What is the purpose of Subnet? Explain with examples

note: i want three examples to explain the purpose of subnet

Answer 1

Dividing a network into many smaller networks is known as SUBNETTING.

Sub networks we got after subnetting are known as SUBNETS.

There are two types of SUBNETTING:

1. Fixed Length Subnetting or Classful Subnetting.

2. Variable Length Subnetting or Classless Subnetting.

ADVANTAGES:

• Easy to maintain. Previously, maintaining a big network of assume 16Million hosts is a difficult task. So, after dividing it in smaller networks it would be somewhat easier for us.
• Increases security.

Please refer attached images I have explained Subnetting in a very detailed manner and as given I have taken 3 Examples: Two from FIXED LENGTH SUBNETTING AND ONE FROM VARIABLE LENGTH SUBNETTING.

HOPE IT HELPS..!!

SUGGESTION: For better visibility save images in the same order and zoom in.. it would be very clear.
