I find this cheat-sheet I wrote up years ago very helpful at helping me recognize when masks and subnet numbers aren't in alignment. It's easily extended to include smaller masks. There are plenty of online tools for IP address management, but this chart had what *I* wanted on it. :-) Mask Last size Octet Binary subnetwork # hosts /25 128 1000 0000 2: 0 128 126 /26 192 1100 0000 4: 0 64 128 192 62 /27 224 1110 0000 8: 0 32 64 96 128 160 192 224 30 /28 240 1111 0000 16: 0 16 32 48 64 80 96 112 14 128 144 160 176 192 208 224 240 /29 248 1111 1000 32: 0 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 6 64 72 80 88 96 104 112 120 128 136 144 152 160 168 176 184 192 200 208 216 224 232 240 248 /30 252 1111 1100 64: 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 2 32 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 80 84 88 92 96 100 104 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136 140 144 148 152 156 160 164 168 172 176 180 184 188 192 196 200 204 208 212 216 220 224 228 232 236 240 244 248 252 Alan Altmark Senior Managing z/VM and Linux Consultant IBM System Lab Services and Training ibm.com/systems/services/labservices office: 607.429.3323 mobile; 607.321.7556 alan_altm...@us.ibm.com IBM Endicott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
