Number of Hosts Needed in Figure 2.2

TABLE 2 . 4 Number of Hosts Needed in Figure 2.2 (continued)
Maximum Number of Hosts Bits in Subnet Mask Subnet Mask
510 23 255.255.254.0
1022 22 255.255.252.0
Referring to Table 2.4, we can easily determine the subnet mask required for each segment
in our example by looking for the closest subnet size greater than or equal to the number of
hosts needed, as shown in Table 2.5.
