    For example, a Class A network start with 98 and the available IP address range from:
    98.0.0.1
    98.0.0.2
    98.0.0.3
    ..............
    .............
    98.255.255.252
    98.255.255.253
    98.255.255.254

  2. Class B Network:
    The first number in a Class B network is between 128 and 191. The second number can be anything between 0 and 255.
    For example, a Class B network start with 145.255 and the available IP address range from:
    145.255.0.1
    145.255.0.2
    145.255.0.3
    ..............
    .............
    145.255.255.252
    145.255.255.253
    145.255.255.254

  3. Class C Network:
    The first number in a Class C network is between 192 and 223. The second and third number can be anything between 0 and 255.
    For example, a Class C network start with 212.230.0 and the available IP address range from:
    212.230.0.1
    212.230.0.2

    212.230.255.252
    212.230.255.253
    212.230.255.254

Note:
  • The first address of each network class, for example:
    98.0.0.0
    145.255.0.0
    212.230.0.0

    are reserved as the Network Address.
