Bad Mask for IP Address Error
I'm not too clear on subnetting rules and experienced an error when I tried to assign 148.26.1.176/28 to an interface on my Cisco router. Can someone please explain why it was not allowing me to assign this address to the interface? I receive an error saying:
Bad mask /28 for address 148.26.1.176Is it outside the permissible range?
If you are using /28 network mask then 148.26.1.176 is the network address and therefore is not an assignable IP address for this subnet.
For subnet 148.26.1.176/28 the range of assignable IP address is 148.26.1.177 to 148.26.1.190, as 148.26.1.176 is the network address and 148.26.1.191 is the broadcast address

`I'm not too clear on subnetting rules` Where sub-netting is all over the Internet, so read about it first, then you wouldn't need to ask this question
