    not quite... more of converting and a way to convert subnet mask to binary i.e. 255.255.255.255 to 1111.1111.1111.1111.

    Ah. Well, there are a couple of methods, but not sure how many of them I can articulate in a comment. I'll see what I can come up with.

    ha! thanks! and I have gathered that there are many methods and I FULLY appreciate that a comment is most definitely not the place to explain and/or explain. I will happily and thankfully accept any links that helped you in the past.

    Well, the thing that helped me the most is just having to do a lot of binary to decimal conversions in my life, so it became pretty quick to do in my head - not that that helps you much. But I will think on it and see if I can come up with something more helpful than that.

      I used to brute force it way back when I first learned and used it over a decade ago. Now I am more ops/data center infrastructure dealing with server hardware and rely on online calculators. I need to sit for the CCNA at some point and I think this is going to be my biggest hurdle.
