I have watched so many videos on subnetting and was feeling like giving up and crossing my fingers before I took the network+. Not a great plan but I felt defeated. Thank you for helping me understand. Easily the best explanation.
This is very helpful. For me it’s easier to remember: Subnets: 1 = /24 = 256s IPs in one net (256/1=256) 2 = /25 = 128 IPs in each subnet (256/2=128) 4 = /26 = 64 IPs in each subnet (256/4=64) 8 = /27 = 32 IPs in each subnet (256/8=32) 16 = /28 = 16 IPs in each subnet (256/16=16) 32 = /29 = 8 IPs in each subnet (256/32=8) 64 = /30 = 4 IPs in each subnet (256/64=4) 128 = /31 = 2 IPs in each subnet (256/128=2) 256 = /32 = 1 IP in each subnet (256/256=1)
I had a hard time understanding the left hand side compared to the right. Basically the way we count its not consistent left versus right. On one hand, it should be like you said, "up from there". so meaning if its /26, its up from 24 so we count 25 (first finger) and 26 (2nd finger). On the other hand, we DO begin counting the 24 (256). It took me a while to understand the difference from networks\subnets versus the amount of IP addresses.
In other words Jason, what I was trying to convey, is that your explanation makes sense, but keep in mind that from our perspective, we right away assume its the same way we count left and right, and it would be better to explicitly clarify that potential confusion. Thank you for the effort you put in these videos and all this feedback is with good intention.
@@ben2mx As he pointed out, he had already taught about subnetting in previous lessons. Regardless, /24 is in itself a subnet, the single subnet network, hence the first finger and thereby the greatest amount of hosts. And he didn't lack in explanation because the illustration of him doing it, which he did many times, was the explanation and literally shows how it's done step by step..
@@JacksonCampbell for us new ppl that just became aware of this method through this video alone. I was confused also. @Ben2mx comment made me to be able to comprehend. Remember everyone is not starting from the same place.
This video is great! I spent a lot of time reading about subnetting and various other videos, but watching this really wrapped things together. For those wondering, yes you can use this method for cidrs that are less than /24. I just used it while taking a 30 question practice quiz on examcompass and got every question correct using this method, lots of questions with cidrs of /9, /20, /17, etc..
Just to add, I recommend you spend sometime really understanding the foundations of subnetting before starting to learn this method. Wrap everything up with this video and you will be good to go.
NET+ PEOPLE: Memorize this and trace your hands out on the paper at the testing center. Do this before you click through the agreement and start the test. In person testing is required to give you blank paper and a pen and they will allow you to write out anything you want from memory If you memorize this you should be able to trace your hands and number each finger in about 30 seconds
I feel he went through how to find the Network ID, Broadcast ID, and 1st/last useable IPs fairly quickly. Can anyone elaborate on how to find these using the method shown in this video?
what I got from it is that you gotta just guess it based on the multiple choice answers for example if it's asking the host ID, I'd bet on the next number closest to a squared below it for example if the last number is .140 and one of the options is like .32 .64 .128 or .192, I'd guess .128 since its below it and I'd gues that the .192 would be the broadcast. It's nearly impossible to find that using this method I think
This looks pretty cool. May have to look at your other videos first probably but I work as Network Admin. I need to understand what they are and if someone asks me some info on it to be able to do it quickly.
Don't understand when to start with 24 or 25... You start with 24 on one hand and 25 on the other at different times and don't explain why. Can you clarify?
7:45 when he is lookng for subnets it's 2 because it's (his) right index finger = 2 but then he goes to "256" which is actually (his) left index finger which he starts at 24 earlier, how is it 256 and not 128?@@gfjfjufidi2880
@@DionTraining So once I determine the amount of subnets and hosts, how am I determining the start and end range off that information. It's really just the second part of the video that I was struggling to understand, I couldn't end up with the same result as you based off those examples.
Great info but it would have made more sense to film the hands from the other direction so that we see it just as we would see looking down at our hands instead of how we would see it if you were standing in front of us. That way you don't have to explain my left is your right and my right is your left and potentially confuse some people

Best of luck!
This and Messers 7 second subnetting is godsend for understanding it.
This is very helpful. For me it’s easier to remember:
Subnets:
1 = /24 = 256s IPs in one net (256/1=256)
2 = /25 = 128 IPs in each subnet (256/2=128)
4 = /26 = 64 IPs in each subnet (256/4=64)
8 = /27 = 32 IPs in each subnet (256/8=32)
16 = /28 = 16 IPs in each subnet (256/16=16)
32 = /29 = 8 IPs in each subnet (256/32=8)
64 = /30 = 4 IPs in each subnet (256/64=4)
128 = /31 = 2 IPs in each subnet (256/128=2)
256 = /32 = 1 IP in each subnet (256/256=1)
This is the best subnetting video I have found by far. Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful!

Agreed, this system seems to work but your explanation is lacking.

what about subnets with a " /
Then you count up from 16. A Class B subnet: 255.255.0.0
This was easier than calculating the length of a replacement bolt for my dining room chair! Thanks!
Incredible.. It took this video for everything to make sense. No more wondering if I'm right or wrong. Now I understand it all. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Holly Molly, if only my former teacher had taught me this way...
Thanks a lot Jason.

Jason, you are good, much appreciated.
Well done, this could literally be taught to a 5 year old. :)
Wait, why do you start counting at 24?
right im so confused
Why for the ips from right to left he's starts with slash 24 but for the subnets from left to right its slash 25?
because there are 256 ips in a /24 network? that's my guess. if 0 and 255 are included that is 256. I could be wrong but don't see any other way out.

WoW... But can this method apply to /23 /22 /21 etc? Or class B and A networks.
I had questions on the Network+ exam about subnets less tham /24. I remember one was /13.
I’m taking it in 3 days, can you elaborate?
Oh I think I know what you mean. The chart I memorized for it has /1-/32 listed, and all networks and devices with them.

25 when counting # of subnets. 24 when counting # of IPs

Did that guy just flip me off /30??? Just kidding! great video Jason I love your courses. They are very helpful and educational!
i understand determining the subnets and amount of IPs, but the second part when he just starts splitting up the IPs randomly, i cant understand why
Hi! We'd love to help you understand, can you tell us more about what is confusing you?

why do we always start counting from /24?
I mean what if i had xyz/24 or /23
This!
How does he know to count from "25" for /29?
Do you sell these for use during the exam?
Watch that finger!!!! 4:42
omg this helped me so much thank you, my ccna 2 class will be so much easier now
Great explanation. This, I can remember.
Dude, you just helped me so much. Thank you
Yaaaayyyy I finally get it. Thanks Jason 🥰
Super helpful TX
love this method.

Yea I still don’t get it lol
No mention of class id
You're a godsend! thank you so much!!!!
This is fucking perfect. Thank you
4:42 😂
@ 2:59 dude you telling me its that easy woww lol
this is quite confusing
???????
I love this, I can't believe this isn't used more.
Very very confusing
Not bad
WTF, Pennywise the Dancing Clown over here with the hands. I can just look at a chart, yeah?
Haha! During an interview, you won’t have a chart with you but you will have your hands!!
@@jasondion oooooooo, good point Jason! Haha I was just poking fun anyway. My network + exam is this Friday (3 days) !
😂.. this guy might be a good at networking. But isn’t a great teacher
He really is a good teacher. He's well respected on udemy and I have alot of his courses. It's quite simple to understand
Sorry to hear that our teaching style wasn't for you, but everyone learns in different ways.
Good luck with your studies!
