You need to subtract 2 from your result to allow for network number and
broadcast.
Eg (32-30)**2 - 2 = 2 hosts
xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx00 network
xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx01 host 1
xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx10 host 2
xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx11 broadcast
Subnet mask is correct.
Regards,
Arie de Vries.
The subnet you described can accommodate (32-30)**2=4 hosts
Not sure about the subnet mask.
