How many usable IPs are in a /29 subnet? or Can someone explain how many IPs you get with a /29?

Wait, isn’t it 5 usable IPs? I swear I read somewhere that one’s reserved for the gateway too. Or does that depend on the setup?

For /29 how many ips, most folks say 6, but I’ve seen debates. Maybe someone can clarify if the gateway thing is a hard rule or just a common practice.

Either way, good luck with your small network!
