SOME FORMULAS

# BLOCKS FOR LARGE #s
2^H / 256 = # BLOCKS
NUMBER OF SUBNETS =
2^n ( n = Number of borrowed bits from host)
NUMBER HOSTS PER SUBNET =
(2^h - 2) ( h = Number of Host bits)
Hosts have always been with the "­-2" part. Because the network address and broadcast address have always been unusable for hosts.

Thanks for building this cheat sheet for IP addressing. I have downloaded it to keep on hand.

Robert Bone- You are absolutely welcome! I created it to have handy for a GIAC exam. I'm glad it was useful for you as well.

Thank you Amanda for posting!
