Hi Friends,
I am pretty difficulty on subnetting.
There is one task from my manager i.e., he gave one IP 10.10.2.30/29 and asked in that how many hosts available and what is the subnetmask.
As my knowledge the subnetmask is 255.255.255.248 am i right.
Can any body help me and how we can define.
Regards,
Nadidu.

Yes /29 = 255.255.255.248
256 - 248 = 8 so your subnets increment by 8.
So
10.10.2.0 255.255.255.248 is first subnet. Then
10.10.2.8/29
10.10.2.16/29
10.10.2.24/29 - this is the subnet you are interested in.
10.10.2.32 is the next subnet address.
Each subnet has to have a broadcast address so
10.10.2.24 = subnet address
10.10.2.31 = broadcast address
10.10.2.25 -> 10.10.2.30 are your useable host addresses.

yes , this is the correct mask.
there are different ways to work out numver of hosts.
u could do it this way :
248 ==> (256-248)=8
8 - 2=6( remove 2 for Subnet and Broadcast ) , so you are left with 6 hosts.
subnet 10.10.2.24
Hosts [10.10.2.25-30]
Broadcast 10.10.2.31

Just maths, u can use it to extract what is called "Magic Number" sometimes.
255.255.255.128 ==> 256-128=128
255.255.255.192 ==> 256-192=64
255.255.255.228 ==> 256-228=32
etc..
Pls use rating system.
