Show Subnetting is the process of dividing one network into smaller networks. Collectively, the smaller networks are referred to as subnetworks (or subnets), and the singular subdivision is a subnetwork (more commonly referred to as a subnet). Every single computer that is connected to a subnet shares an identical portion of the IP address. This shared information is known as a routing prefix, and in IPV4 (Internet Protocol Version 4), the routing prefix is called a subnet mask. The subnet mask is a "quad-dotted decimal representation". This IPv4 Subnet Chart can assist you in looking up how a network is broken up into subnets. Class address ranges:
Reserved address ranges for private (non-routed) use:

What is the maximum number of usable hosts with a class B network address?Class B Networks (/16 Prefixes)
This network is a 16-bit network prefix; its highest bit order is set to 1-0. It is a 14-bit network number with a 16-bit host number. This class defines 16,384 (2 14 ) /16 networks, and supports a maximum of 65,534 (2 16 -2) hosts per network.
What is the maximum number of host IP addresses?so 2^11 = 2048. Out of this addresses the first and last address correspond to network and broadcast address which cannot be used for host. i.e 2048-2 = 2046 are the maximum number of host the given range of IP address can have.
What is the size of host in Class B IP address?A class B network number uses 16 bits for the network number and 16 bits for host numbers.
