Subnet Cheat Sheet: CIDR, Subnet Mask and Hosts

Answer
/24 = 255.255.255.0 · 254 hosts

Usable hosts = 2(32 − prefix) − 2 (network and broadcast addresses). /31 is used for point-to-point links (2 hosts, RFC 3021) and /32 for a single host.

    Quick tips

    Each step down in prefix doubles the size: a /23 is two /24s, a /22 is four. The block size in the interesting octet is 256 minus the mask value (for 255.255.255.192 the block size is 64).
