TCP/IP TABLES
 
These are the tables I memorized for the TCP/IP exam. Before starting the exam I took a moment and wrote out the following tables up to the subnetting section below on the piece of paper provided. With these tables I did not have to use the calculator once during the exam which saved a lot of time.

Having trouble with Subnetting ?

If you want a thorough detailed explanation of subnetting I suggest that you visit the following site:
http://www.hardcoremcse.com/ctributor/tcpip3.htm

 Here is a simplified explanation of how to get the subnet address ranges from various subnet masks:

YOU HAVE A CLASS B ADDRESS THUS: 131.107.X.Y
SUBNET MASK OF: 255.255.224.0

 Q1/. How do I calculate the THIRD & FOURTH OCTETS of the IP ADDRESS?

Look at my Tcp/ip table at the top of this page. With a subnet mask of 224 on a class B address you will see that there are 6 subnets and the bit value is 32. The starting X will be multiples of the bit value 32 with the starting Y being equal to 1 and the finishing X value will be 1 less than the next multiple of 32 and the Y value will be 254.

On a class C address such as 131.107.100.X things change a little. The X starting value is multiples of the bit value plus 1. The X ending value becomes the normal value that you would use above minus 1. The following table depicts this:
Subnet Mask: Class B = 255.255.224.0 Class C = 255.255.255.224

 131.107.64.1 131.107.95.254 131.107.100.65 131.107.100.94

 131.107.96.1 131.107.127.254 131.107.100.97 131.107.100.126
4
 131.107.128.1 131.107.159.254 131.107.100.129 131.107.100.158
5
 131.107.160.1 131.107.191.254 131.107.100.161 131.107.100.190
6
 131.107.192.1 131.107.223.254 131.107.100.193 131.107.100.222

YOU HAVE A CLASS A ADDRESS THUS: 18.X.Y.Z
SUBNET MASK OF: 255.224.0.0

 Q2/. How do I calculate the 2ND, 3RD & 4TH octets?

Now the Class A will follow the same idea. Again there are 6 subnets. The bit value is 32. With the ip address of 18.x.y.z., the starting x will be multiples of the bit value 32, y will be 1 and z will be 1. The ending x will be one less then the next multiple, y will be 255 and z will be 254.

Hope that the above helps clarify the subnetting issue.
