Explain the concept of subnetting the network.

48.Explain the concept of subnetting the network.
Ans.
1. Every IP network has two addresses that cannot be used –The network IP number itself and the broadcast addresses.

2. Every time we subnet we are creating these two unusable addresses, so the more subnet we have, the more IP addresses we lose.

3. We need to determine the subnetwork mask and network numbers. Subnetworking takes one or more of the available host bits and makes them appear as network bits to the local interfaces.

4. If we want to divide our Class C network into two subnetworks, we’d change the first host bits to ones, and this would give us a net mask of 255.255.255.192

5. Lastly, assign the appropriate numbers for the network, the broadcast address, and the IP addresses for each of the interfaces.

If you have multiple kernel images installed on your system, you can choose which one to be executed. 4. GRUB displays a splash screen, waits for few seconds, if you don’t enter anything, it loads the default kernel image as specified in the grub configuration file. (grub.conf in /boot) 5. GRUB has the knowledge of the filesystem (the older Linux loader LILO didn’t understand filesystem). 6. Grub configuration file is/boot/grub/grub.conf (/etc/grub.conf is a link to this). 7. # GRUB LILO 1 GRUB stands for ‘Grand Unified Bootloader’. LILO stands for Linux Loader. 2 GRUB supports an unlimited number of boot entries. LILO supports only up to 16 different boot selection. 3 GRUB can boot from network. ...
