Episode 54: Subnetting Practice Scenarios and Problem Solving
Now that you’ve learned how to perform IPv4 subnetting, it’s time to practice and solidify your understanding through real-world scenarios. In this episode, we walk through multiple subnetting challenges that mirror what you might encounter on the Network Plus exam or in a production environment. You’ll learn how to choose the correct subnet mask, allocate appropriate ranges for hosts and devices, and identify which subnets belong to which departments or VLANs. These examples reinforce the logic and help you become more efficient at subnetting under pressure.
We also examine common pitfalls like selecting overlapping subnets, miscalculating usable host ranges, or incorrectly assigning gateways. Each problem is carefully explained to help you improve both speed and accuracy. This is the episode where theory becomes skill—by the end, you’ll be far more confident tackling subnetting questions without needing a calculator. If you’ve ever felt unsure about subnetting math, these examples will build your muscle memory and clarity.
