Say I had a subnet of 255.255.255.0/30
The way I understand it to be is that I would have 6 open nodes and 2 closed
And the equation I have been given is 6 squared =36 -2 =34 providing 34 subnets
As for the clients well there are 2 closed nodes and 2 squared is 4 -2 =2 clients thus there are 2 clients to every node... Can someone take a look at this and cofirm if I am right or if it isnt then can you elaborate? At present I as mentioned in a previous post I am studying the MTA Network Admin course and the abbreviation of network subnets is causing a small problem for me.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look and point me in the right direction.
