Legend has it that once upon a time a networking instructor named Bob taught a class of students a method of subnetting any address using a special chart. This was known as the Bob Maneuver. These students, being the smart type that networking students usually are, added a row to the top of the chart and the Enhanced Bob Maneuver was born. The chart and instructions on how to use it follow. With practice, you should be able to subnet any address and come up with an IP plan in under a minute. After all, it's just math!

It’s always better to do things right the first time! So why not start with a scheme that can take you all the way from your small suburban office to an underground global headquarters where you torture British spies while patting a white fluffy cat. Start it off right and you never have to make significant changes to it again.
