Most teachers on this subject look frustrated or confused. This man seems angry about it but it somehow really helps absorb the information. I have watched my college professors video on this, another random guy, and this one. (all 3 were around 45min) and this is BY FAR the best video on the subject. Thank you very much.
@jasmit kaur sahi ...when you count for subnets or hosts, you start by counting from 2 and double as you go (i.e.: 2,4,8,16,32,64....etc.). Also, when you count for subnets you count from Left to Right. When you count for hosts, you count from Right to Left. So, you always subtract 2 from the HOST side and you only subtract 2 from the NETWORK side if you are NOT using the Zero subnet. In my examples, the only time, I count by 1 and double as I go (i.e.: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64128) is when I count the BIT values in each OCTET. I do have a YT video called "Starting at 2 & Double As You Go"...this might clarify the method to my madness.
+The Networking Doctors I've been out of the IT game for a few years, and even when I did work with submasks, I didn't have to do much unless it was giving a machine a static IP. Aside from that, all the networks were already built before I started working at my job, so all these lessons never really came up. Im looking to get back into the IT industry, and wanted to brush up on my facts. I had no idea that creating subnets like this had so many facets. I admit, I had to watch this video at least 5 times in a row, pausing, taking notes, copying his diagrams....I figured out on my own about counting by doubling each number in the sequence beginning by 2 for subnets (left to right) and same but except right to left for the hosts; but I admit it took several times of me wondering why the hell he didn't start with 1. It all makes sense now, reading these comments its funny how many people it threw off about why he began by 1 and then by 2; I finally understand sub networking now, and this video is the best i have seen on youtube. Just a suggestion +The Networking Doctors but since this is the most popular youtube video on the subject and getting close to 1 Million views, I think it would be helpful to make annotations (like scrolling text perhaps, pop up windows?) explaining why a you switch from starting at 1's and then switching to 2's. The Bit Sequence vs. The subnet/host (2's) sequence. If you just added that little note in the video itself each time you do that then it would really be a perfect video. Just a thought, but love your teaching style. You sound hard and strict in a way, like a military person really taking us all on a sub netting bootcamp. Your demeanor really gives us incentive to get this down and push us to think hard and logically. This has helped tremendously, please continue putting video's like this on youtube!
Thanks everyone! ...and Jared Sanchez, I'm glad you got it! I do have another YT video called "Counting by 2 and Double as you go" that explains why it's done in this manner. Also, in the next few weeks, I'll be making a similar video since this one is over 3 years. However, it is the most popular video that I have.

super many thanks i was struggling to undertand CIDR, networking and subnetting, but your video as made it more clearer. i will end up watching more of your videos in the future. which will hopefully assist & help me with my coursework and career in IT
@Brahmanand Narsule All you need to is focus on the mask they gave you. 252 allots for only 2 IP's 248 allots for only 6 IP's 240 allots for 16 IP's...this would be the best choice. Hope it helped! Laz
"240 allots for 16 IP's...this would be the best choice." - cmon laz. If the others are host counts ( i.e. ((2^(32-y))-2) ) a .240 would be 14 IPs not 16.
Jay Matthews Paul Lampron Oh I forgot to subtract two from the host side. But thanks for the mathematical equation. all I do is simply x.x.x.1111|0000 which equals 240 in the last octet, count by 2 from right to left, and double as you go till you get to the line and subtract 2. Oh by the way, lol, I was answering from a restaurant having lunch, through my Iphone...LOL!!!!!!
@Brahmanand Narsule Please excuse my oversite, since I was trying to answer in a hurry is happened to all of us, but you do subtract 2 always from the host side as I explained in the video :)
Today I will call it "Let's Correct Laz Day!" ***** What all of you don't know yet, is that I'm creating my own vocabulary words...heck! I may just decide to publish my own Dictionary...LOL! After all, who would of imagined that "LOL" would now mean "laughing out loud", or that BTW would now mean "by the way", or that a symbol like the @ sign will now be representative of the word "at". Therefore,@Networkified, in what will soon be known as "LAZ's Dictionary", the word "oversite" will soon be known to represent "oversight". BTW; not only was it a play using the word "site" ;) - but I was also typing from my phone at the time. I'm in front of my computer now! Please let me know if you find any other words that I can add to the infinite vocabulary for the new and upcoming "LAZ's Dictionary"... LOL! :)
I love this guy and his t-shirt. The Network Doctor got me through my CCNA 1- 4 courses. I now have my Associates and working on my Bachelor's Degree in Cyber Security... Thank You!!!!
I've been trying to understand subnetting for a long time. I don't mean to be disrespectful, honestly, but there are a lot of videos on UA-cam with contributions from people that either make it exceptionally difficult, or do not know what they're talking about. I was just about to give up when I came across this video. Thank god I did. This has got to be the very best video in terms of clarity in explanation, teaching technique, and knowledge. Thank you sincerely for providing this exceptionally good video. A sincere thank you. I totally understand it now thanks to you.
amazing video! I saw videos from livelessons and cbt nuggets and they were missing some stuff. Your stuff is on point to make sure we know how to do everything w/ out any BS.
At the part where he is saying subtract 2 from the host side and asked why should we do that, I answered aloud. And then he said "Did you say that? Good." It was so 4th wall.
I’ve tried and tried to understand subnetting with other videos, memorizing charts and what not....30 minutes in, I finally found an easy way to subnet!!!! Thank you Mr. Stonecold!!!!!
Very clear unforgettable explanation. Then again my Cuban friends have that: clarity of mind, very practical and to the point. Plus the "angry" way of talking which is not
I know some network teachers and Cisco teachers make it so complicated. You helped me understand what I didn’t learn in networking class and the Cisco classes made so hard to catch on.
I failed CCNA 640-802 a few years ago. Because I missed apply an access list. I got complacent I my current job I didn't retake it. I see you teaching the gns ccna course I will go ahead a buy, this is gold. Thank you very much
This guy doesn't mass around, I would never think he does networking and could teach :) I guess don't ever judge the book by its cover.. ! On the serious note... Thank you so much for all the info.. Please don't stop sharing your teaching methods and examples of things... You simply are amazing at what you are doing!
Thanks Ma, don't worry about it, I get a lot of that same misconception. Unfortunately, most people do judge a book by its cover. However, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and as a famous Psychologist said, listen to the other person as you might be able to learn something from them....it's been a great advice for me anyway.
Coming from app-dev background and wanted to learn networking deep but yet simple, OMG! This is the best thing I discovered on youtube in ages..thank you sir, you are a rockstar.
Thanks Sir, Being a VoIP engineer for 5 years now, I have been looking to learn subnetting for years..the best video I have ever seen. Now it made me very clear about subnets ! Appreciate it a lot.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you for making this! I was trying to understand why at 17:44 you started counting from 2 rather than starting from 1 (as in the normal 1 to 128). Earlier in the video, you were counting starting from 1. How do you know when to do either of these? Thank you again for your amazing videos!
Everyone gets confused about that. So, I created a video to explain the method to my madness. Look for the video named “Counting by 2 and Double as you go”... it should clarify it.
This confounded me as well. I believe the case is: Count for hosts, right to left, starting with 2. Count for subnets, left to right, starting with 2. The increment (and therefore the broadcast calculation number) is derived from the BIT VALUE, which starts with 1 (starting from the right). This is why he counts the hosts and subnets on the bottom and counts the increment number and the broadcast calculation number on the top. Bottom: Start with 2's. Top: use bit value. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. I've started taking Laz's CCNA class on Udemy. It's great! Thanks Laz!
I am in a networking class. Intro to routing and switching using cisco. My professor hasn't taught me anything and all of a sudden he gives the class a project to design a ip scheme. I paid for your online course yesterday, watched probably 20 (short) lessons. Now, I'm almost done with my project.
Thanks brother! ..I really appreciate this message and glad that my class was able to help you. So, now, all I would like for you to do is "pass the word around"...and let your professor know if he would like for me to do a live appearance for FREE
@@thenetworkingdoctors I already told my class about you and posted a link to your site on my class discussion board. I'll try and run it by my professor about the live appearance.
@@thenetworkingdoctors I was wondering. Are any of your labs downloadable. I'm having a hard time recreating the network based on the topology you show in your videos. Right now I'm working on your eigrp lesson. The 1841 routers you use don't have a serial port so I'm using generic. And I tried a cidr 30 (255.255.255.252) on my ip addresses but they are conflicting with each other. So I adjusted them a bit changing the third octete seemed to work. But now they aren't working on the 10.0.0.0 network. I'm assuming I would just need to do a few more configurations with eigrp. I'm sure I can figure it out so it will work. But I'm having a bit of difficulty.
I'm currently taking IP Subnetting in my NTEC class at Clark College in Washington. I sure wish I could pause my professor from time to time like I did this video!! Sure helps to grasp the situation better when u can keep up, LOL. Thank you for this wonderful video!! I wanted to add on a side note that your book IS my textbook for the class, though this video helped out a great deal more in understanding it. Thanks again!!!
Thanks so much really helped! My teacher doesn't teach he just sits and will read from the slides. It really helps to have an engaging person teach me this.
Hi! My company using 106.133.196.0 IP address and using submask of 255.255.255.0, how come they used class A IP and they use class c submask, . hope you can help me about this thanks
Why when calculating the /28 Network you started counting the mask bits at 1 but when calculating the network with 100 hosts you started the mask bits at 2? Am I missing something or was that just a mistake? Great video though very helpfull.
firstly thanks for the great video. I just wanted to know why is it that sometimes you count including the one like at 15:33 but at 22:20 you count starting with 2?
okay i watched that video and what i understood from it is that when counting the bit values you count in ones and that is used in order to calculate the range?
Thanks, Laz, I hope you're doing well. I have my Networking exam in 51 minutes and I haven't touched anything till now. I understood the core idea and the way to do it but I'm more confused if you start from the right or the left for what. Anyways, this video made me realise how good a teacher can be if you give your best effort. Your accent and the confident/ aggressive tone delivers the message right across the room waking up every slouching student.
Each one teach one sir...this video is spectacular...clear, concise...I love short cuts... Thank you also for the free education...I couldn't be more appreciative I will practice until I've absolutely mastered it...then I'll practice some more...
Feels like I'm back at school again with an amazingly passionate teacher that kinda scares you into passing.. ha ha. Kick ass video. Top notch info!! The only channel I'll need for networking / routing setup. It's important to add some dry humor and comedy in, it puts the brain in a much more receptive state. That's probly why it's such a hit! Love the clear and emphatic speech. We need more Teachers like you bro!! Teachers that are passionate about there field. Thanks man!!!! Legend!!!
I don't get the comments saying "why is he mad at me" "why is he yelling". He sounds like a normal dude, just coz he doesn't look your average IT nerd don't mean he's angry.
I've already committed these numbers to memory, I've been looking for a method for subnetting that works for me for a while. with books, classes,boot camps. and every time they give me a very complex way of getting the answers. I got this shit down in a afternoon watching this video. you filled in so many questions I've had for so long. I never right comments on videos , but this video takes the cake.
I've taken so many network classes and two CCNA courses. Never gotten an explanation like this. WOW dude your extremely awesome. I have ADHD and this really explained subnetting and its so easy hahaha. Thank you Thank you. It feels so good when it finally clicks after two semesters of network classes.
The first 20 minutes is more helpful then the half years worth of networking lectures I've attended. There are some things you just cannot learn from PowerPoint slides! Thanks a bunch! Very informative and to-the-point.
My husband has been teaching me this subject and at first I get it and then forget it. He gets frustrated and the. so do I and then want to give up. It’s just a matter of practice and reviewing for me. This is a great video for reviewing, thank you :)
Great work Laz! I'm from the Philippines and I must say, every tutorial that I watched so far are so clear, informative and concise! I really like how you repeat important information, over and over again! Hours of reading are getting clearer because of your tutorials! Thank you for all your effort! Salamat! Mabuhay ka! (Thank you! Long live!)
i really enjoy your way of teaching. its blunt and straight to the point. Not going to lie, i have been struggling to grasp this concept in my ccna classes but after watching your vid i feel more comfortable with the process than i have felt in the last 8weeks of study. So thanks for the video :D
IP addressing and submitting is the Kryptonite of all IT professionals. So, don't feel bad...you are not alone, that's precisely why I made this video. To help those like yourself. A newer version will be coming out in 2016!
I must say I appreciate the format of your videos more than a lot of the others that I have seen on UA-cam and other sites. Your methods are especially easy to understand for someone like myself that has knowledge of these topics, but has not used them in practice for a long time. I am sure your videos will ensure that I pass my CCNA cert the first time around. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you for sharing this, really! I've been taught Subnetting in 3 different ways, not counting this one...after I forgot how to subnet yet again I found and stayed on this video to review...In the end I'm shocked at how practical your take on subnetting is, I remember thinking with the other methods "Oh god look at this address I don't want to pick up pen and paper now to solve it" while with yours I can find the numbers in the same time I spend thinking some excuse! Amazing!
Thank you Historian, I am glad the video helped you. If you go to www.thenetworkingdoctors.com site and click on the products tab I have my book, "The only IP Book You Will ever Need" in PDF for 4 dollars. You will learn subnetting, VLSM, Route Summarization, IPv6 and IPv6 subnetting, using my method.No fluff, straight to the point. Laz
We all have different ways of learning. It seems that yours is auditory which is enhanced when your hearing is stimulated by a high decibel frequency, which helps your brain 🧠 to retain the information. 🤪
I was lectured an entirely different way to subnet in my training for the ICND1 class today.. it completely screwed me up! I'm going back to this, this is the best way Laz thank you, and thanks for your dynamic teaching style. Never boring.
I remember saving this video in my "watch later" for a reason as I wanted to learn subnetworking. I come back to it years later and it's still as good as I remember it. Thanks for uploading this. It's very easy to understand, and I am using this as a reference for my Network+ vs what the book N+ shows (as far as how to subnetwork).
Brilliant!! This guy teaches it like an MMA instructor! - Joe Rogan on IP - I'll never forget this training. Still VALID 10 years after the making! Thank you!!
Haha, love the Joe Rogan comparison! 😄 I’m so glad the training stuck with you, even after all these years! Thanks for the awesome feedback-here’s to keeping things real and memorable! 🙌
Hi Laz, Reg. Critical networking issue. Wife started to doubt me. Since I wanna get the certification done and dusted, I've started to watch your videos as the world gonna end tomorrow. All your channels are excellent. I watch those at every meal time, shaving, in the gym, etc. I hope my marriage survives learning time and I can attend to my family again. Thank you for all the great classes. Krys.
+ARcTic STROKE ...your marriage will definitely survive. I was like you when I started and had a lot of support from my wife. Now, she's very happy that I do what I do and we're a very happy family. Your determination and perseverance will pay off!
Never imagined I would see this long video. Every thing you told is important. Everything on point. Built more confidence. Hope I'll take less than 30 sec in subnetting questions.
Hey Laz, I have watched this again as many times before!, I truly love this tutorial because it's the best subnetting video on the net in my opinion. I want to say that this video helped me sooo much as I had a penny drop moment after watching this vid... I'm somewhat a subnetting master now because of you! I watch this video on different occasions because it brings back memories of how useful it was to me when I struggled with IP addressing. Laz you have my vote and respect always you are truly the king of IP.
Wow, thank you so much for the incredible feedback! 🙏 I'm beyond thrilled to hear that this video made such a big impact and helped you have that "penny drop" moment! Subnetting can be a tricky beast, but now that you're a subnetting master, I know you've got this. 😊 Your vote and respect mean the world to me, and it’s awesome to know that my content continues to be useful to you. You’re the real MVP for sticking with it and pushing through-keep owning it, and I’m here whenever you need a refresher! 💪
Thanks so much Teacher! I'm currently a banker trying to initiate a career transitioning to IT.... but despite the fact that I'm still very green in computer networking, you made this course so easy and interesting for me to understand. I've subscribed to your channel and hope to be thoroughly bred by you. Thanks again.
With a short attention span, I could never sit through subnetting tutorials. When the numbers came up, I just zoned out. Your enthusiasm kept me paying attention though. Thanks man!
Great class! I needed a recap and watched other classes but couldn't remember how to calculate and the logic, your class what perfect because it was just like I had learned almost 20 years ago no new frills. Thank you.
i was here in 2013 as a student and now i am back here looking for this video for my juniors as a network engineer.... Kudos to you sir
10 years ago this video has been released. And it still rocks! Best explanation I have ever heard!

Hope it helped!
Laz
"240 allots for 16 IP's...this would be the best choice." - cmon laz. If the others are host counts ( i.e. ((2^(32-y))-2) ) a .240 would be 14 IPs not 16.
net ID and Broadcast ID 16 becomes 14. LOL noob

Oh I forgot to subtract two from the host side. But thanks for the mathematical equation. all I do is simply x.x.x.1111|0000 which equals 240 in the last octet, count by 2 from right to left, and double as you go till you get to the line and subtract 2. Oh by the way, lol, I was answering from a restaurant having lunch, through my Iphone...LOL!!!!!!
@Brahmanand Narsule
Please excuse my oversite, since I was trying to answer in a hurry is happened to all of us, but you do subtract 2 always from the host side as I explained in the video :)
Today I will call it "Let's Correct Laz Day!"

What all of you don't know yet, is that I'm creating my own vocabulary words...heck! I may just decide to publish my own Dictionary...LOL! After all, who would of imagined that "LOL" would now mean "laughing out loud", or that BTW would now mean "by the way", or that a symbol like the @ sign will now be representative of the word "at". Therefore,@Networkified, in what will soon be known as "LAZ's Dictionary", the word "oversite" will soon be known to represent "oversight". BTW; not only was it a play using the word "site" ;) - but I was also typing from my phone at the time. I'm in front of my computer now! Please let me know if you find any other words that I can add to the infinite vocabulary for the new and upcoming "LAZ's Dictionary"... LOL! :)
I love this guy and his t-shirt. The Network Doctor got me through my CCNA 1- 4 courses. I now have my Associates and working on my Bachelor's Degree in Cyber Security... Thank You!!!!
I've been trying to understand subnetting for a long time. I don't mean to be disrespectful, honestly, but there are a lot of videos on UA-cam with contributions from people that either make it exceptionally difficult, or do not know what they're talking about. I was just about to give up when I came across this video. Thank god I did. This has got to be the very best video in terms of clarity in explanation, teaching technique, and knowledge. Thank you sincerely for providing this exceptionally good video. A sincere thank you. I totally understand it now thanks to you.
At last I got to understand subnetting. Hats off to you my friend!
amazing video! I saw videos from livelessons and cbt nuggets and they were missing some stuff. Your stuff is on point to make sure we know how to do everything w/ out any BS.
Thanks Jesse!
At the part where he is saying subtract 2 from the host side and asked why should we do that, I answered aloud. And then he said "Did you say that? Good." It was so 4th wall.
I’ve tried and tried to understand subnetting with other videos, memorizing charts and what not....30 minutes in, I finally found an easy way to subnet!!!! Thank you Mr. Stonecold!!!!!
Glad I could help.
Very clear unforgettable explanation. Then again my Cuban friends have that: clarity of mind, very practical and to the point. Plus the "angry" way of talking which is not
Doc, you have an awesome teaching technique. Your video has helped me loads. Keep up the good work.
Awesome James...glad I was able to help ;)
Thanks Pitbull, really appreciate it, especially since I have my final exam on the CCNA R&S course having to do with switching and routing next week!!
Love those dogs 🐕...let me know when you pass!

@@yellowkll2853 how do you know?
@@defaultgamer34857 because he didn't let him know
omg it took me 43 minutes to understand what i didn't in 3 phases of cisco...thank u
I know some network teachers and Cisco teachers make it so complicated. You helped me understand what I didn’t learn in networking class and the Cisco classes made so hard to catch on.
I failed CCNA 640-802 a few years ago. Because I missed apply an access list. I got complacent I my current job I didn't retake it. I see you teaching the gns ccna course I will go ahead a buy, this is gold. Thank you very much
This guy doesn't mass around, I would never think he does networking and could teach :) I guess don't ever judge the book by its cover.. !
On the serious note... Thank you so much for all the info.. Please don't stop sharing your teaching methods and examples of things... You simply are amazing at what you are doing!
Thanks Ma, don't worry about it, I get a lot of that same misconception. Unfortunately, most people do judge a book by its cover. However, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and as a famous Psychologist said, listen to the other person as you might be able to learn something from them....it's been a great advice for me anyway.
Just found you on youtube and your a Godsend. Thank you much and i'll keep watching...
Glad I was able to help Timothy!

🤣🤣🤣
Just "stumbled" on this one. Great teaching style. I thank you!
Thank you Nemanja!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you for making this!
I was trying to understand why at 17:44 you started counting from 2 rather than starting from 1 (as in the normal 1 to 128). Earlier in the video, you were counting starting from 1. How do you know when to do either of these?
Thank you again for your amazing videos!
Everyone gets confused about that. So, I created a video to explain the method to my madness. Look for the video named “Counting by 2 and Double as you go”... it should clarify it.
@@thenetworkingdoctors I will be watching that shortly! Greatly appreciated
Oh my! You just made me sh*t on my pants (pardon the swear word) realising how easy this can be.. Thanks a great deal.. I'm healed
This confounded me as well. I believe the case is: Count for hosts, right to left, starting with 2. Count for subnets, left to right, starting with 2. The increment (and therefore the broadcast calculation number) is derived from the BIT VALUE, which starts with 1 (starting from the right). This is why he counts the hosts and subnets on the bottom and counts the increment number and the broadcast calculation number on the top. Bottom: Start with 2's. Top: use bit value. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. I've started taking Laz's CCNA class on Udemy. It's great! Thanks Laz!
@@Whodamanimal Came to the comments looking for this - thank you!
I am in a networking class. Intro to routing and switching using cisco. My professor hasn't taught me anything and all of a sudden he gives the class a project to design a ip scheme. I paid for your online course yesterday, watched probably 20 (short) lessons. Now, I'm almost done with my project.
Thanks brother! ..I really appreciate this message and glad that my class was able to help you. So, now, all I would like for you to do is "pass the word around"...and let your professor know if he would like for me to do a live appearance for FREE
@@thenetworkingdoctors I already told my class about you and posted a link to your site on my class discussion board. I'll try and run it by my professor about the live appearance.
@@thenetworkingdoctors I was wondering. Are any of your labs downloadable. I'm having a hard time recreating the network based on the topology you show in your videos. Right now I'm working on your eigrp lesson. The 1841 routers you use don't have a serial port so I'm using generic. And I tried a cidr 30 (255.255.255.252) on my ip addresses but they are conflicting with each other. So I adjusted them a bit changing the third octete seemed to work. But now they aren't working on the 10.0.0.0 network. I'm assuming I would just need to do a few more configurations with eigrp. I'm sure I can figure it out so it will work. But I'm having a bit of difficulty.
I'm currently taking IP Subnetting in my NTEC class at Clark College in Washington. I sure wish I could pause my professor from time to time like I did this video!! Sure helps to grasp the situation better when u can keep up, LOL. Thank you for this wonderful video!! I wanted to add on a side note that your book IS my textbook for the class, though this video helped out a great deal more in understanding it. Thanks again!!!
This video really helped me. Taught me everything I needed to know about calculating IP and subnets
Thanks Sean!
"did i memorize the hell out of it? yes I did" amazing =)
very thorough and understandable, thank you sir
Thank you William!
This was great. He reminds me of the first CCIE engineer I studied under. Very no nonsense and to the point. Great job!
Thanks so much really helped! My teacher doesn't teach he just sits and will read from the slides. It really helps to have an engaging person teach me this.
+Mido Ordo ...glad it helped Mido!
Hi! My company using 106.133.196.0 IP address and using submask of 255.255.255.0, how come they used class A IP and they use class c submask, . hope you can help me about this thanks
Why when calculating the /28 Network you started counting the mask bits at 1 but when calculating the network with 100 hosts you started the mask bits at 2? Am I missing something or was that just a mistake? Great video though very helpfull.
yeah.. i didn't got that too...
Thanks for helping me out! 😊
For further explanation you can watch my video called “Counting by 2 and double as you go” It should clarify your question
firstly thanks for the great video. I just wanted to know why is it that sometimes you count including the one like at 15:33
but at 22:20 you count starting with 2?
+Junz Vids ...I explain that in another video called "Counting by 2's & Double as you go"
okay i watched that video and what i understood from it is that when counting the bit values you count in ones and that is used in order to calculate the range?
Great great video. I have watched a number of subnetting and IP addressing videos and this is one of the best. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for your support! I'm glad I was able to help 😉
Thanks, Laz, I hope you're doing well. I have my Networking exam in 51 minutes and I haven't touched anything till now. I understood the core idea and the way to do it but I'm more confused if you start from the right or the left for what. Anyways, this video made me realise how good a teacher can be if you give your best effort. Your accent and the confident/ aggressive tone delivers the message right across the room waking up every slouching student.
Thank you so much 😊 And let me know when you pass! My email is: info@thenetworkingdoctors.com
Best explanation on YT just saying....
Thanks Afro Head!
Thank you sir. The video was great !
Thanks Novin!
Why did you stopped making videos please upload complete networking videos.
Thank a lot this was a very important lecture for me . cause I am from Afghanistan.
Glad I was able to help 👍
Doesn't matter where you're from
Each one teach one sir...this video is spectacular...clear, concise...I love short cuts...
Thank you also for the free education...I couldn't be more appreciative
I will practice until I've absolutely mastered it...then I'll practice some more...
Feels like I'm back at school again with an amazingly passionate teacher that kinda scares you into passing.. ha ha.
Kick ass video. Top notch info!! The only channel I'll need for networking / routing setup.
It's important to add some dry humor and comedy in, it puts the brain in a much more receptive state.
That's probly why it's such a hit!
Love the clear and emphatic speech.
We need more Teachers like you bro!! Teachers that are passionate about there field.
Thanks man!!!! Legend!!!
I don't get the comments saying "why is he mad at me" "why is he yelling". He sounds like a normal dude, just coz he doesn't look your average IT nerd don't mean he's angry.

thats a kai greene back right there :D
If only that were true...LOL :)
you are a mastermind who knows how to train body and mind ;)
I've already committed these numbers to memory, I've been looking for a method for subnetting that works for me for a while. with books, classes,boot camps. and every time they give me a very complex way of getting the answers. I got this shit down in a afternoon watching this video. you filled in so many questions I've had for so long. I never right comments on videos , but this video takes the cake.
Thanks Jermaine!
I’m glad that I was able to her 😊
Remember that although the video is very old, the information is still relevant today.
I've taken so many network classes and two CCNA courses. Never gotten an explanation like this. WOW dude your extremely awesome. I have ADHD and this really explained subnetting and its so easy hahaha. Thank you Thank you. It feels so good when it finally clicks after two semesters of network classes.
The first 20 minutes is more helpful then the half years worth of networking lectures I've attended. There are some things you just cannot learn from PowerPoint slides!
Thanks a bunch! Very informative and to-the-point.
My husband has been teaching me this subject and at first I get it and then forget it. He gets frustrated and the. so do I and then want to give up. It’s just a matter of practice and reviewing for me. This is a great video for reviewing, thank you :)
Great work Laz! I'm from the Philippines and I must say, every tutorial that I watched so far are so clear, informative and concise! I really like how you repeat important information, over and over again! Hours of reading are getting clearer because of your tutorials! Thank you for all your effort! Salamat! Mabuhay ka! (Thank you! Long live!)
I've watched some Arabic Videos but I'm feeling this Video is the right one to understand IP Addresses and Subnetting.
Thank you Sir.
i really enjoy your way of teaching. its blunt and straight to the point. Not going to lie, i have been struggling to grasp this concept in my ccna classes but after watching your vid i feel more comfortable with the process than i have felt in the last 8weeks of study. So thanks for the video :D
IP addressing and submitting is the Kryptonite of all IT professionals. So, don't feel bad...you are not alone, that's precisely why I made this video. To help those like yourself. A newer version will be coming out in 2016!
very nice informative and technique to do subletting question quickley in CCNA exams. well done sir.
Thank you Ali!
I've been watching many subnetting videos. All I got to say is you explain it the best compared to others. Thanks for this!
+Robby “Laz” Napoles ...thanks Robby!
I must say I appreciate the format of your videos more than a lot of the others that I have seen on UA-cam and other sites. Your methods are especially easy to understand for someone like myself that has knowledge of these topics, but has not used them in practice for a long time.
I am sure your videos will ensure that I pass my CCNA cert the first time around. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you for sharing this, really!
I've been taught Subnetting in 3 different ways, not counting this one...after I forgot how to subnet yet again I found and stayed on this video to review...In the end I'm shocked at how practical your take on subnetting is, I remember thinking with the other methods "Oh god look at this address I don't want to pick up pen and paper now to solve it" while with yours I can find the numbers in the same time I spend thinking some excuse!
Amazing!
Thank you Historian, I am glad the video helped you. If you go to www.thenetworkingdoctors.com site and click on the products tab I have my book, "The only IP Book You Will ever Need" in PDF for 4 dollars. You will learn subnetting, VLSM, Route Summarization, IPv6 and IPv6 subnetting, using my method.No fluff, straight to the point.

I swear I learn better when someone is yelling at me. Thank you. It really is easy when you break it down this way.
You’re welcome 😉
We all have different ways of learning.
It seems that yours is auditory which is enhanced when your hearing is stimulated by a high decibel frequency, which helps your brain 🧠 to retain the information. 🤪
2020, 8 years later and still one of the best videos out there
massive thank you :)
Thank you 😊
Not sure if you still check this, but maaaan, this is the best subnetting video I've come across. Thank you!
I was lectured an entirely different way to subnet in my training for the ICND1 class today.. it completely screwed me up! I'm going back to this, this is the best way Laz thank you, and thanks for your dynamic teaching style. Never boring.
I don't know if you still check this UA-cam, but this video literally cleared up everything for me. Thank you so much.
+Andy ...thanks Andy! However, it's a very old video and there's one that it's newer in the channel. Hope you subscribed!
I do not usually take the time to say "Thank you" on youtube videos, but this one deserves a five star Thank you!
I remember saving this video in my "watch later" for a reason as I wanted to learn subnetworking. I come back to it years later and it's still as good as I remember it.
Thanks for uploading this. It's very easy to understand, and I am using this as a reference for my Network+ vs what the book N+ shows (as far as how to subnetwork).
There's actually a newer version that I made, but for some reason, everyone likes this old version better....go figure?
Laz, thanks for your "down-to-earth" teaching methods, helps us (regular people) understand this so much better.
Thank you for this video. It helped me pass my Network+. 823 out of 900. This is the best IPv4 subnetting instruction I've run across. Thanks again.
Brilliant!! This guy teaches it like an MMA instructor! - Joe Rogan on IP - I'll never forget this training. Still VALID 10 years after the making! Thank you!!
Haha, love the Joe Rogan comparison! 😄 I’m so glad the training stuck with you, even after all these years! Thanks for the awesome feedback-here’s to keeping things real and memorable! 🙌
wasnt focused enough when i took cisco in highschool but im getting back into it now and this help a lot, 100% greatness
You're welcome. Glad I could be of help!
Hi Laz, Reg. Critical networking issue. Wife started to doubt me. Since I wanna get the certification done and dusted, I've started to watch your videos as the world gonna end tomorrow. All your channels are excellent. I watch those at every meal time, shaving, in the gym, etc. I hope my marriage survives learning time and I can attend to my family again. Thank you for all the great classes. Krys.
+ARcTic STROKE ...your marriage will definitely survive. I was like you when I started and had a lot of support from my wife. Now, she's very happy that I do what I do and we're a very happy family. Your determination and perseverance will pay off!
Never imagined I would see this long video. Every thing you told is important. Everything on point. Built more confidence. Hope I'll take less than 30 sec in subnetting questions.
You’ll get there 😊
I now understand what subnetting mask and difference of networking id and host id.Video very illustrative.Thank you
Glad it helped Impulse!
Hey Laz, I have watched this again as many times before!, I truly love this tutorial because it's the best subnetting video on the net in my opinion. I want to say that this video helped me sooo much as I had a penny drop moment after watching this vid... I'm somewhat a subnetting master now because of you! I watch this video on different occasions because it brings back memories of how useful it was to me when I struggled with IP addressing. Laz you have my vote and respect always you are truly the king of IP.
Wow, thank you so much for the incredible feedback! 🙏 I'm beyond thrilled to hear that this video made such a big impact and helped you have that "penny drop" moment! Subnetting can be a tricky beast, but now that you're a subnetting master, I know you've got this. 😊
Your vote and respect mean the world to me, and it’s awesome to know that my content continues to be useful to you. You’re the real MVP for sticking with it and pushing through-keep owning it, and I’m here whenever you need a refresher! 💪
Thanks so much Teacher! I'm currently a banker trying to initiate a career transitioning to IT.... but despite the fact that I'm still very green in computer networking, you made this course so easy and interesting for me to understand. I've subscribed to your channel and hope to be thoroughly bred by you. Thanks again.
Welcome MOA! I know you will do great 👍
With a short attention span, I could never sit through subnetting tutorials. When the numbers came up, I just zoned out. Your enthusiasm kept me paying attention though. Thanks man!
Thank you Rocks! ...I hope you were able to understand subnetting and apply it
Great class! I needed a recap and watched other classes but couldn't remember how to calculate and the logic, your class what perfect because it was just like I had learned almost 20 years ago no new frills.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
