please if I give you an Ip range you are gonan tell me 1 client when i give you an IP to subnet...
you just lost your job.


You said an IP. Not an IP and subnet. Nor for that matter did you say anything about NAT.

You are the one who is wrong.

um wtf does a NAT have to do with learning to subnet an IP address.. if i give you 1 IP address you should be able to tell me
1. how many possible clients belong in the class of the IP..
2. which subnet that IP should belong to
3. what class IP it is..

talk about ignorant..
go take a Cisco class or an MCSE class and then talk about TCP/IP

I was thinking the same thing. IP range wasn't mentioned in the original question either.

ummm, we gave up on classfull addressing somewhere around a decade ago. Class has no reference or meaning anymore except for multicast addresses. Or possibly ancient classfull routing protocols which nobody uses anymore.

One must also supply a mask or prefix length to answer your questions.

Uh...yep. You said IP, not range or even subnet. An IP address, which I think most people would assume is what you meant...can only support one client.

I wouldn't say love to subnet. I've just been working with it for so long I dazzle people with the ability to do it in my head in mere seconds.

When interviewing somebody I'll give basic subnet and summarization questions. But more so they can show a basic knowledge of the subject.

You're right though, if somebody said "I know IP" and you provided a simple question like 192.168.0.0/22 and they couldn't answer or dodge it.

Well then they lied.
