Frequently Asked Questions
How many IPs are in a /14?
A /14 subnet contains 262,144 total IP addresses and 262,142 usable host addresses. The network address (first IP) and broadcast address (last IP) are reserved and cannot be assigned to hosts.
What is the subnet mask for /14?
The subnet mask for a /14 is 255.252.0.0.
In CIDR notation, the prefix length /14 means
the first 14 bits of the address are the network portion.
The wildcard (inverse) mask is 0.3.255.255.
How many /14 subnets fit in a /13?
Exactly 2 — a /13 can be split into two /14 subnets of equal size.
