Subnet Divider (VLSM)

Split a network into smaller subnets and see the usable range, broadcast and host count of each one.

How subnetting works

Splitting a network means borrowing bits from the host part to create smaller subnets. Going from a /24 to a /26 borrows 2 bits, creating 4 subnets of 62 usable hosts each. Each extra bit doubles the number of subnets and halves the hosts.

Formula: subnets = 2^(new prefix minus base prefix). Usable hosts per subnet = 2^(32 minus new prefix) minus 2. A /30 (2 hosts) is the smallest useful one for point-to-point links.
