A network engineer subnets the network 192.168.100.0 /24 into 16 subnets. How many usable host addresses will be available on each of the subnets?

Explanation: When network 192.168.100.0 /24 is subnetted into 16 subnets, each subnet will have a new network mask of 255.255.255.240. This new mask will leave four bits of the address available for hosts. Four host bits yield 16 host addresses. However, two of those addresses are reserved, the lowest for the subnet and the highest for the subnet broadcast. This leaves 14 addresses for host configuration.
