How Many IP Addresses in a /25 Subnet? (128 — Here’s Why)

How Many IP Addresses in a /25 Subnet? (128 — Here’s Why)

A /25 subnet contains 128 IP addresses. 126 are usable — 2 reserved for network address and broadcast. Half the size of /24. Here’s when to use it.

How Many IP Addresses in a /25 Subnet? (128 — Here’s Why)

128 IP addresses.

That’s the answer. A /25 subnet contains exactly 128 IP addresses. But only 126 are actually usable — the first address is the network identifier, and the last is the broadcast address.

A /25 is exactly half of a /24. It’s created by splitting a /24 in two.

Why 128? The Math Behind /25

The “/25” in CIDR notation means 25 bits are used for the network portion of the address. That leaves 7 bits for host addresses.

The calculation:

  • 32 bits total in an IPv4 address
  • 25 bits for network = 7 bits for hosts
  • 2^7 = 128 possible combinations
  • Subtract 2 (network + broadcast), you get 126 usable addresses

It’s not arbitrary. It’s binary math.

What Can You Actually Do With 126 IPs?

Typical /25 allocation: Small business office with ~100 devices on one VLAN, branch office with ~80 workstations + servers, or small hosting company with ~90 customer VMs.

Summary

  • /25 = 128 IPs (126 usable)
  • Exactly half of a /24
  • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.128
  • Calculation: 2^(32-25) = 128
  • Common use: Splitting /24 for network segmentation

Frequently Asked Questions

How many IP addresses are in a /25 subnet?

+

A /25 subnet contains 128 IP addresses total, with 126 usable addresses. Two addresses are reserved: the network address (first) and broadcast address (last).

What is the subnet mask for /25?

+

The subnet mask for /25 is 255.255.255.128. This means the first 25 bits identify the network, and the last 7 bits identify individual hosts.

How many /25s are in a /24?

+

A /24 can be split into exactly 2 /25 subnets. Each /25 contains 128 IP addresses (126 usable).
