Hello, I have a question on something I have run into during some studying. So far it has been explained like this:
I get a /24 and to subnet I borrow bits in the right direction. (so 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 --> 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000)
Every example is always taking a /24 and making it a /26 , /27 , etc...
My question is am I able to go to the left instead? (For example take a /24 and make a /23? Or am I locked in depending on the original subnet mask/class?
