About /19 Networks
Medium enterprise or data center allocation. A /19 subnet uses the mask 255.255.224.0 and provides 8,190 usable host addresses out of 8,192 total IPs.

Splitting a /19 Into Smaller Subnets
A /19 divides evenly into any longer prefix. Each row shows how many subnets of that size fit inside one /19, and how many usable hosts each of them carries.
| Subnet Size | How Many Fit | Mask | Usable Hosts Each |
|---|---|---|---|
| /20 | 2 × /20 | 255.255.240.0 | 4,094 |
| /21 | 4 × /21 | 255.255.248.0 | 2,046 |
| /22 | 8 × /22 | 255.255.252.0 | 1,022 |
| /23 | 16 × /23 | 255.255.254.0 | 510 |
| /24 | 32 × /24 | 255.255.255.0 | 254 |
| /25 | 64 × /25 | 255.255.255.128 | 126 |
| /26 | 128 × /26 | 255.255.255.192 | 62 |
| /27 | 256 × /27 | 255.255.255.224 | 30 |
| /28 | 512 × /28 | 255.255.255.240 | 14 |
| /29 | 1,024 × /29 | 255.255.255.248 | 6 |
| /30 | 2,048 × /30 | 255.255.255.252 | 2 |
| /31 | 4,096 × /31 | 255.255.255.254 | 2 |
| /32 | 8,192 × /32 | 255.255.255.255 | 1 |
How Many /19 Subnets Fit in a Larger Network

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a /19 subnet?
A /19 subnet uses the subnet mask 255.255.224.0 with 8,190 usable host addresses and 8,192 total IP addresses. It has 19 network bits and 13 host bits.
How many hosts in a /19 network?
A /19 network supports 8,190 usable hosts out of 8,192 total IP addresses. The usable range excludes the network address and broadcast address.
What subnet mask does /19 use?
A /19 subnet uses the mask 255.255.224.0 (wildcard mask 0.0.31.255). This means the first 19 bits identify the network and the remaining 13 bits identify hosts.
How many /21 subnets are in a /19?
One /19 splits into 4 /21 subnets, each with mask 255.255.248.0 and 2,046 usable hosts. Every prefix longer than /19 divides it evenly — the full table is above.
How many /19 subnets are in a /18?
A /18 holds 2 /19 subnets. Each step to a shorter prefix doubles that count, because one bit moves from the host portion of the address to the network portion.
Standards
The figures on this page follow from the following specifications rather than from convention.
- RFC 4632 — Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
Defines the /19 prefix notation used throughout this page, and the address-aggregation model that replaced classful addressing.
- RFC 950 — Internet Standard Subnetting Procedure
The original definition of the subnet mask, and of the network and broadcast addresses excluded from the usable host count.
- RFC 1918 — Address Allocation for Private Internets
Reserves 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16, the ranges most /19 subnets are carved from in practice.
