You may be asked to supply 500 useable subnets ; using the formula Subnets = 2n 2
Where n = number of bits to be borrowed

Remember the borrowed bits in the mask7 change

from 0 (zero) to 1 (one)

Step 4
Define the subnetted network;
Address 172.16.0.0/25
We are now in a position to calculate the subnet addresses and usable hosts for each
subnet.

For each subnet, the binary value of
the subnet bits will increment by 1,
so the first 5 subnets and last 2 are;
