About /2 Networks

Extremely large allocation, rarely used outside global routing. A /2 subnet uses the mask 192.0.0.0 and provides 1,073,741,822 usable host addresses out of 1,073,741,824 total IPs.

Splitting a /2 Into Smaller Subnets

A /2 divides evenly into any longer prefix. Each row shows how many subnets of that size fit inside one /2, and how many usable hosts each of them carries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a /2 subnet?

A /2 subnet uses the subnet mask 192.0.0.0 with 1,073,741,822 usable host addresses and 1,073,741,824 total IP addresses. It has 2 network bits and 30 host bits.

How many hosts in a /2 network?

A /2 network supports 1,073,741,822 usable hosts out of 1,073,741,824 total IP addresses. The usable range excludes the network address and broadcast address.

What subnet mask does /2 use?

A /2 subnet uses the mask 192.0.0.0 (wildcard mask 63.255.255.255). This means the first 2 bits identify the network and the remaining 30 bits identify hosts.

How many /4 subnets are in a /2?

One /2 splits into 4 /4 subnets, each with mask 240.0.0.0 and 268,435,454 usable hosts. Every prefix longer than /2 divides it evenly — the full table is above.

How many /2 subnets are in a /1?

A /1 holds 2 /2 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.
