ASKER
Could you explain how you get the number of subnets more?? and also how to get the host and broadcast addresses
When applying a mask of 255.255.0.0 to a Class A address You are usign 8 bits for the network portion, 8 bits for the subnet and 16 bits for the host portion.
You will be able to have:
256 Subnets
65534 hosts on each subnet.
