Overview
A /25 block contains 128 addresses with 126 usable — exactly half a /24. It is commonly used to divide a standard /24 network into two equal halves, for example separating wired and wireless clients.
Common use cases
- Split a /24 into two equal halves
- Separate wired and wireless VLANs
- Small office or department subnet
- Cloud subnet with up to 126 hosts
