Figure 2.3 – Class B Subnet Mask
Using this subnet mask, the TCP/IP protocol soware dierentiates between the devices
that are connected to the local subnetwork and the devices that are located in other sub-
networks.
Example
Device 1 wants to establish a connection with device 2 using the above subnet mask.
Device 2 has IP address 59.EA.55.32.
IP address display for device 2:
Hexadecimal representation: 59.EA.55.32
Binary representation: 0101 1001.1110 1010.0101 0101.0011 0010
e individual subnet mask and the IP address for device 2 are then ANDed bit-by-bit by
the soware to determine whether device 2 is located in the local subnetwork. e gure
below shows the ANDing of the subnet mask and IP address for device 2 (see Figure 2.4).
Figure 2.4 – ANDing the Subnet Mask and IP Address
Aer ANDing, the soware determines that the relevant subnetwork (01) does not cor-
respond to the local subnetwork (11) and the data telegram is forwarded to a subnetwork
router.
