IPIf you want to use the first and last networks in this scenario, you must useClassless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation and use routing services that sup-port CIDR. In traditional subnetting, the first network ID is all zeros, so it is “thisnetwork,” and the last network ID is all ones, which signifies the broadcast for thatnetwork.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)

You should see now that there are limits to the size of the network you can implementusing classful IP address assignment. It has become necessary to provide more options tocreate larger segments to reduce the size of routing tables and overcome the depleted publicIP address pool.The solution is known as Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). CIDRuses a binary format to provide the definition of network addresses.Use the matrix in Table 3.10 to quickly identify routing and subnet information basedon your requirements for the number of hosts and networks.The column of binary masksshould help you calculate the networks for each subnet, and the table shows how theclassful addressing scheme relates to the CIDR notation.
