Introduction to IP routing on the MAX
For example, a class C address, such as 198.5.248.40, has 24 network bits, leaving eight bits
for the host portion of the address. If no subnet mask is specified for a class C address, the
MAX assumes the default mask of 24 bits, as shown in Figure 9-1.
for the host portion of the address. If no subnet mask is specified for a class C address, the
MAX assumes the default mask of 24 bits, as shown in Figure 9-1.

Subnet mask format
To specify a subnet mask, you append a modifier that specifies the number of network bits in
the address. For example:
the address. For example:
198.5.248.40/29
In this example, the /29 indicates that 29 bits of the address are used to specify the network.
This is referred to as a 29-bit subnet. The three remaining bits specify unique hosts, as shown
in Figure 9-2.
This is referred to as a 29-bit subnet. The three remaining bits specify unique hosts, as shown
in Figure 9-2.
Figure 9-2. A 29-bit subnet mask and the number of supported hosts
In Figure 9-2, three available bits present eight possible bit combinations. Of the eight possible
host addresses, two are reserved, as follows:
