To calculate the number of hosts per subnet, you need to first determine the subnet mask. The subnet mask is a 32-bit number that identifies the network and subnet within a larger network. Once you have the subnet mask, you can use the formula 2^n – 2, where “n” is the number of bits in the subnet mask. For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.240, then “n” is 4 and the formula would be 2^4 – 2, which equals 14 hosts per subnet.
