Determining whether devices are on the same subnet

To determine the subnet, the local device’s IP address is compared to the remote device’s IP address (figure A-6). Each address’s octets are compared or not compared, depending on the value in the related subnet mask octet.

•If a subnet mask octet contains the value 255, the related octets of the local device’s address and the remote device’s IP address are unmasked.

Unmasked octets are compared (indicated by ? in figure A-6).

•If the subnet mask octet contains the value 0, the related octets of the local device’s and remote device’s IP addresses are masked.

Masked octets are not compared (indicated by X in figure A-6).

If the unmasked octets of the two IP addresses match (indicated by = in figure A-6) (example 1), the two addresses are on the same subnet.

If the two unmasked fields do not match (indicated by ≠ in figure A-6) (example 2 and example 3), the addresses are not on the same subnet.

	Example 1	Example 2	Example 3
Local IP Address:	192.168.254.254	192.168.254.254	192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask:	255.255.0.0 (?.?.X.X)	255.255.0.0 (?.?.X.X)	255.255.0.0 (?.?.X.X)
Remote IP Address:	192.168.2.25	190.190.2.25	192.190.2.25

Match?:	=.=.X.X — Match	≠.≠.X.X — No match	=.≠.X.X — No match
