The most successful MSPs rely on metrics – known as key performance indicators (KPIs) – for making informed decisions that help their businesses thrive, rather than just survive. This eBook provides an overview of the most important KPIs used by top MSPs.
IP Subnetting and Supernetting
In the case I have 192.168.25.0/24 and the request is about adding 10 subnets ,will the new mask be :
192.168.25.0/28 or ?
Thanks
192.168.25.0/28 or ?
Thanks

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
Here's a handy resource for figuring that sort of thing out. I use it all the time because I'm far too lazy to do binary math in my head.

You will have 16 subnets with each subnet accomodating 14 hosts.Ain't necessarily so, that depends on user's needs - it is just said 10 subnets.
You should ask number of hosts per subnet since there can be a lot of combinations.
:)
For example : you can also have 8 networks with 14 clients, and 2 networks with 30 clients. Or any other valid combination.
192.168.25.0/28
192.168.25.16/28
192.168.25.32/28
192.168.25.48/28
192.168.25.64/28
192.168.25.80/28
192.168.25.96/28
192.168.25.112/28
192.168.25.128/26
192.168.25.192/26
If you don't get more specific information go with /28 mask for all 10 subnets.
This is a C class address where each C class is 254 hosts. When you divide this to smaller subnets, obviously each subnet will have less hosts. Now if you were using a B class address then you would start with 65534 hosts and then sub-divide that to additional networks. If you broke this down to 16 subnets then you would end up with each subnet having 4094 hosts. As an example, 172.16.0.0/16 = 4094 hosts, 172.116.0.0/20 would give following:
172.16.0.0
172.16.16.0
172.16.32.0
172.16.48.0
172.16.64.0
...
172.16.240.0
172.16.0.0
172.16.16.0
172.16.32.0
172.16.48.0
172.16.64.0
...
172.16.240.0
You can have 254 host per network, but not if you create subnets from 192.168.25.0/24 network, you can't divide it and still have 254 hosts per subnet.
You can create 192.168.26.0/24 - 192.168.34.0/24 networks and have 10 subnets, but...
Be careful where network start and where networks end.
I like create networks that can easily be summarized.
If you want you can use any private range.
I always prefer A or B class networks for bussines.
If networks need to have 254 hosts per subnet, I guess I would go with some range like (depending on already existing networks)
172.16.0.0/24
172.16.1.0/24
.
172.16.9.0/24
As Mohammed already wrote summary would be 172.16.0.0/20 (he had typing by mistake 172.116. :) )
and it would cover 172.16.0.0 - 172.16.15.0 networks

I do not us subnetting often
where I get confused is where to add the bits when it come to subnetting and supernetting
ex: 192.168.0.0/24 ...if the request says add 20 subnets , then the closest is 2^5, which means you add 5 bits from the left
it will become 192.168.0.0/29 =192.168.0.0 255.255.255.248
I guess supernetting (reducing subnets in order to add more hosts) is not very common
