Frequently asked questions

What is the subnet mask for /15?

A /15 subnet mask is 255.254.0.0. In binary that is 11111111.11111110.00000000.00000000: 15 network bits followed by 17 host bits. The wildcard mask is 0.1.255.255.

How many usable hosts are in a /15?

A /15 holds 131,072 addresses in total. Subtracting the network and broadcast addresses leaves 131,070 usable hosts.

How many /15 subnets fit in a /8?

A /8 divides into 128 subnets of size /15, because each extra mask bit doubles the number of subnets.
