Isn't this wrong? If the netmask is .224, it should be either 192.168.0.0-31 or 192.168.0.32-63. 192.168.0.16 does not make sense here.
On subnet 192.168.0.16 with a mask of 255.255.255.224 will give enuff ips for 29 clients. One for the broadcast addy. Primary subnet would be 192.168.x.x.0 wich can only handle 254 clients. X.16 is just taken from that SN and subnetted out into a different allocation block. I slapped it in there hopping the OP would see the that other subnets ways to configure it. Good catch
Yeah, but you cannot really subnet that way:
[angenenr@shutdown ~]$ipcalc.pl 192.168.0.16/255.255.255.224 Address: 192.168.0.16 11000000.10101000.00000000.000 10000 Netmask: 255.255.255.224 = 27 11111111.11111111.11111111.111 00000 Wildcard: 0.0.0.31 00000000.00000000.00000000.000 11111 => Network: 192.168.0.0/27 11000000.10101000.00000000.000 00000 HostMin: 192.168.0.1 11000000.10101000.00000000.000 00001 HostMax: 192.168.0.30 11000000.10101000.00000000.000 11110 Broadcast: 192.168.0.31 11000000.10101000.00000000.000 11111 Hosts/Net: 30 Class C, Private Internet
