IP Subnetting Made Easy


Book Description

I originally developed this book for my networking students at the community college where I teach and it is at their urging I have decided to publish this book. Since then, thousands of copies have gone out and the book has been adopted at several other colleges and schools. My goal was to produce a book that was targeted to a single topic (IPv4 subnetting) that was inexpensive, and was easy to read (less than 100 pages). I also wrote the book to be used from time to time; not relegated to a shelf where it would gather dust. My students have loved the book over the years and I know you will too.
