My accountHow to understand network block
For example, you have got a following network: 212.124.111.16/29, it mean that you have 8 IP addresses but only 5 IP addresses can be used on your servers.
- 212.124.111.16 - network address (can not be used)
- 212.124.111.17 - gateway address (you should use it as gateway address only)
- 212.124.111.18 - 1st IP address of your server
- 212.124.111.19 - 2nd IP address of your server
- 212.124.111.20 - 3rd IP address of your server
- 212.124.111.21 - 4th IP address of your server
- 212.124.111.22 - 5rd IP address of your server
- 212.124.111.23 - broadcast address (can not be used)
- 255.255.255.248 - network mask
