Nothing is wrong. IP subnet zero is not just about the first subnet. It is
about every subnet. That is why your addressing works fine. It is only the
first last and second to the last you can't use IN EACH SUBNET. Not the
subnets as a whole.

So
192.168.1.0 this is the subnet
192.168.1.1  valid
192.168.1.2 valid
....
...
192.168.1.63 broadcast
192.168.1.64 subnet

The last subnet works the same way.

192.168.1.192 subnet
192.168.1.193 valid
192.168.1.194 valid
....
...
192.168.1.254  valid
192.168.1.255 broadcast

That's a good question. Be careful cause with addressing errors sometimes
things works fine almost of the time but problemas may appear later...

Hi all,

What about a class C network with mask /26, how many networks?
Let´s say 192.168.1.0/26
Well, it´s a class C address with 2 bits of subnet (26 - 24 from class C
standard mask). By using the (2^n)-2 rule we have: 2^2 = 4 - 2 = 2 subnets.

The subnets are:
192.168.1.0/26     invalid
192.168.1.64/26    valid
192.168.1.128/26  valid
192.168.1.192/26  invalid

With "ip subnet-zero" I can use the invalid subnet 192.168.1.0/26. So I will
have 3 subnets. However, here  I use all 4 subnets and they work very well.
What´s wrong?
