Thanks for your reply Koen
I guess now I got it.
Just one more question. can I?
let's say there is ip address: 172.37.2.56/20
How could I tell whether it is (class B, subnet mask with default, 4
extended bits), or (class B, subnet mask without default, 12 extended bits)?
I will appreciate your help.

I forgot to say how I remembered it
If I saw a Class B IP Address and it had a /x less then 16 then x would
represent the subnet mask bits without the default ones. If on the other
hand x > 16 it would have the subnet masks bits in there for a Class B.
Class A x>8, Class C x>24
Hope this helped aswell

hi
172.37.2.56/12 means class B with subnet mask 12. right?
Then is it going to be 11111111.11111111.11111111.1111000
or
11111111.11110000.00000000.00000000?
Which one is correct?
Help me please.
Thanks.

Hi
/12 means 12 subnet mask bits. Don't count the default ones
In Binary it would be like this
172.37.2.56 = class B
Default for class B = 255.255.0.0 (11111111.11111111.0.0)
/12 in binary is = 11111111.11111111.11111111.1111000
decimal = 255.255.255.240
Hope this helped
