This is a term that refers to a group of TCP/IP addresses. Addresses in the same subnet are reachable without going through a router, and thus can be reached by broadcast. To reach addresses outside of a particular subnet, you must transmit through a router. This is all part of the TCP/IP protocol. Queen's generally segregates subnets by the third part of the numeric address (for example, '130.15.48.*').

A subnetwork address.

On TCP/IP networks, subnets are all systems whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all systems with IP addresses that start with 10.10.10. would be part of the same subnet.

a collection of networked computers

a set of host or target channel adapters, links and switches that are interconnected and agree on a common set of device addresses

An IP address range that is part of a larger range. For instance, 192.168.1.0 is a subnet of 192.168.0.0 (where 0 is a mask meaning "undefined"); it is, in fact, the ".1" subnet.

An IP address range that is part of a larger address range. Subnets are used to subdivide a network address of a larger network into smaller networks. Subnets connect to other networks through a router. Each individual wireless LAN will typically use the same subnet for all of its clients. (See IP address, router). close

A subnet consists of a group of computers that all share a common IP address prefix.

A set of machines that communicate without the assistance of a router. Networks and subnets are connected with routers to make larger networks.

A portion of a physical network in which packets are isolated from the outside world.

This is a term that refers to a group of TCP/IP addresses defined by a subnet mask. A subnet mask determines how many addresses are in the same subnet as a particular TCP/IP address. Addresses in your subnet are reachable without going through a router, and thus can be reached by broadcasts. To reach addresses outside of a particular subnet, you must transmit through a router. This is all part of the TCP/IP protocol.

1. A name sometimes applied to the lower levels of the network architecture, collectively responsible for moving the data round the network. It is also known as the transport layer. 2. (TCP/IP) The portion of an IP address which, though actually part of the host, is treated as part of a network number within the local network.

A networking scheme that divides a single network into smaller logical networks to simplify routing.

A subset of a larger network. Each subnet within a network shares a common network address and is uniquely identified by a subnet address.

A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCPIP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100. would be part of the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons. IP networks are divided using a subnet mask.

A portion of a network, which may be a physically independent network segment, which shares a network address with other portions of the network and is distinguished by a subnet number.

a division of a project network diagram representing a subproject.

An interconnected, but independent segment of a network that is identified by its Internet Protocol (IP) address.

A network address created by using a subnet mask to specify that a number of bits in an address will be used as a subnet number rather than a host address.

One physical network of an internetwork. Third set of numbers located in an IP address.

A physically or logically independent portion of a network, distinguished by a subnet number. A subnet is to a network what a network is to an internetwork. See also network.

For routing purposes, IP networks can be divided into logical sub nets by using a subnet mask. Values below those of the mask are valid addresses on the subnet.

A subdivision of an IP network. Each subnet has its own unique subnetted network ID.

A logical division of a larger network into smaller areas

A segment of a larger network.

A portion of a network that shares a common IP address component. Used for security and performance reasons.

A part of the network, often contained within a single lab, or building. There are various levels of subnets.

(subnetwork) Each network that is part of a larger internet.

A portion of a network. Each subnet within a network shares a common network address and is uniquely identified by a subnetwork number.

A physically distinct network identified by its IP address.

A network that has been connected to larger & more powerful network system. Subnets are connected to a larger net to by a bridge or router.

A portion of a network that shares a common address component but is on a different segment than the rest of the network.

A term denoting any network technology that makes all nodes connected to it appear to be one hop away.

A subnet extends the IP addressing scheme.

Sub-network. Subnets are portions of a network that share a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, devices that share a prefix are part of the same subnet. For example, all devices with a prefix of 157.100.100.100 are part of the same subnet.

An identifiably separate part of an organisation's network.

A portion of a network that shares a network address with other portions of the network and is distinguished by a subnet number. A subnet is to a network what a network is to the Internet.

One or more physical networks forming a subset of an Internet network. A subnet is explicitly identified in the Internet address.

A part of a network in the same way that a network is part of the Internet.

Another name for a network, especially if the network is part of an internetwork. The word subnet is also a synonym for intranet.

A block of IP addresses.

A working scheme that divides a single logical network into smaller physical networks to simplify routing.

A contiguous section of the university's distributed network that uses a common IP address.

A network segment connected by hubs or repeaters. Subnets can stand alone, can be connected to other subnetworks to form a small LAN, or can be connected to a larger network.

A LAN that is part of a larger logical network.

A sub division in a network to increase speed, group individuals that perform similar tasks, and to create a layer of security between departments and mission critical systems. Networking

A section of network usually serviced by its own repeater. A large network is broken into subnets to increase speed and so that some failures (e.g. breaks in the network cable) will only disrupt the subnet.

In TCP/IP, part of a TCP/IP network identified by a portion of the Internet address.

A logical division of a larger Internet Protocol (IP) network. Small offices will use only one subnet to provide addresses for all the devices on the LAN; large enterprise networks may use hundreds of subnets. Each subnet is a logically independent network, and therefore routers or Layer-3 switches are needed in order to allow devices on different subnets to communicate. Back

A subnet is a portion of an IP network defined by a subnet mask. Devices on the same subnet have the same subnet mask.

A portion of a network, which may be physically independent, that shares a network address with other portions of the network and is distinguished by a subnet number. Subnets are created and supported by the use of routing.

A distinct network that forms part of a larger computer network. Subnets are connected through routers and can use a shared network address to connect to the Internet.

In Internet parlance, a logical partition of a network. OSI attaches a more restricted meaning: the portion of a network attached to the same physical medium.

A network segment connected by hubs. Subnets can stand alone, or connect to other subnets to form a larger network.

A smaller subset of a network. Used to assist in administration.

In IP, a distinct network within a network. In OSI, subnet is the connection from the IS to the subnetwork.

Determines the size of the immediate network. Usually expressed with either 255 or 0 depending on the network class ie. For Class C Networks, the standard subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
