Visualizing Subnets Using

The Box Method
The box method is the simplest way to visualize the breakdown of
subnets and addresses into smaller sizes.
Start with a square. The whole square
is a single subnet comprised of 256
addresses.

/24
255.255.255.0
256 Hosts
1 Subnet
Split the box in half and you get two
subnets with 128 addresses,

/25
255.255.255.128
128 Hosts
2 Subnets

Divide the box into quarters and you

get four subnets with 64 addresses,

/26
255.255.255.192
64 Hosts
4 Subnets
80

Split each individual square and you

get eight subnets with 32 addresses,

/27
255.255.255.224
32 Hosts
8 Subnets
Split the boxes in half again and you
get sixteen subnets with sixteen
addresses,

/28
255.255.255.240
16 Hosts
16 Subnets
The next split gives you thirty two
subnets with eight addresses,

/29
255.255.255.248
8 Hosts
32 Subnets
The last split gives sixty four subnets
with four addresses each,

/30
255.255.255.252
4 Hosts
64 Subnets
