How to do subnetting in Cisco ?
Hello Expert , I am doing A ccna course , and really intrest me , now we got to the subnetting chapter and I find it hard one , I have got a book , and there are many ways finding soluations to ne problem , my question is is there a simple way where u can answer the most common question like , what network certain IP address is on? what is the subnet mask , the broadcast address and the range , pls I gt exam on monday and I want to do all I can to understand and pass the exam , what confuse me the most is the no of bits that r needed to design a network , or when they say for example you got 37.0.0.0 and ur requirement is at least 500 hosts per network however as many subnets as possible without exceeding 1000 subnets , I need explaining pls and not throw a website and I need to deal with it , I need to understand more than anything else . thks alot

Any more easiar way to find the no of bits needed for subnetting ?
One thing to remember: All 1's and 0's in subnetting must be continuous.
Easiest way is to memorize all 2^x, where x is 1 to 10. In converting that to subnets, x defines number of 0's at the end of subnet mask.
In my previous post, whole process is described in more detail, but in essence it is just finding closest bigger 2^x (example: for 200 hosts, first bigger is 2^8=256).
