determining a subnet mask limitation on hosts

What is the max number of hosts in a /19 subnet.

my answer was (2^14-2) which is 16382

book says its 8190???

16382 is a /18

/19 is in fact 8190, it’s 255.255.224.0 …

edit: your math is only off by one, 13 instead of 14, it’s 2^(19-32)-2 which is 8190

btw i am NOT a network guru, but figured i could help :slight_smile:

I hate figuring out subnet mask shit

I use this webpage when I want to figure it out.
