P-871H Series User's Guide Subnetting With Class A and Class B Networks. For class "A" and class "B" addresses the subnet mask also determines which bits are part of the network number and which are part of the host ID. A class "B" address has two host ID octets available for subnetting and a class "A" address has three host ID octets (see Table 23 on page 87) available for subnetting. The following table is a summary for class "B" subnet planning. Table 36 Class B Subnet Planning NO.
