To find the subnet of a host, you can use a subnet calculator or manually calculate it using the CIDR notation. You will need the IP address and subnet mask for the host.
To use the calculator, enter the IP address and subnet mask in the appropriate fields, then click “calculate.” The calculator will then display the subnet, broadcast address, and range of IP addresses for the host.
To calculate the subnet using the CIDR notation, convert the IP address to binary format, then determine the number of bits used for the network portion of the address by counting the ones in the subnet mask. The number of network bits divided by eight will give you the subnet‘s block size. To then find the subnet, take the IP address, apply the subnet mask, and convert it back to decimal format.
