Bob, I would have to agree. With CIDR, in most cases you will get 16 usable subnets and 2 unusable addresses (the network and the broadcast).
ex. 192.168.96.0 255.255.240.0 192.168.96.1 --> 192.168.111.254 all usable 192.168.96.0 network 192.168.111.255 broadcast I could see the question possibly not wanting the zero subnet if you used the following: 192.168.0.0 --> 192.168.15.255 where the 192.168.0.X network might be classified as unusable. This would give you 15 usable subnets...

Secondly, regarding Carl's post, would the answer be 14? I'm not sure the subnet-zero comes into play with CIDR. I was under the impression it was only relevant to subnetting as opposed to summarizing. Does anyone know for sure? > I say 8. 2 to the power of 4 Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=48403&t=48367 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
