How many IPs in a /29? Need a quick clarification! or Can someone explain how many IPs in a /29 actua

Hey! So, a /29 gives you 8 total IPs, but yeah, 2 are reserved—one for the network and one for broadcast. That leaves you with 6 usable IPs.

The math is simple: 32 - 29 = 3, so 2^3 = 8 total IPs. Minus 2 for network/broadcast, and you’ve got 6.

Hope that helps!
