Binary masks
Subnet: 11111111.11111000.00000000.00000000
Wildcard: 00000000.00000111.11111111.11111111
The first 13 bits identify the network. The remaining 19 bits identify addresses inside it.
First subdivision
Dividing this network into 4 equal blocks produces:
0.0.0.0/15— 131,070 usable hosts0.2.0.0/15— 131,070 usable hosts0.4.0.0/15— 131,070 usable hosts0.6.0.0/15— 131,070 usable hosts
Continue working with /13
What this result means
A /13 IPv4 network contains 524,288 consecutive addresses. The network and broadcast addresses are reserved in traditional LAN use, leaving 524,286 usable host addresses.
Use the wildcard mask in access lists and routing policy where a device expects inverse mask bits. Always verify vendor syntax before applying generated values to production equipment.
