To calculate the maximum number of IP addresses that can be assigned to hosts on a local subnet with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224, you first need to determine the number of host bits in the subnet mask. In this case, the subnet mask 255.255.255.224 has 5 host bits.
To calculate the number of hosts, you use the formula 2^n - 2, where n is the number of host bits. In this case, it would be 2^5 - 2 = 30.
Therefore, the maximum number of IP addresses that can be assigned to hosts on this subnet is 30.
