If I set up an AWS VPC with CIDR of 10.0.0.0/20 then the range is 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.15.255
I make a subnet now. Why does 10.0.15.15/28 give an error. Isn't it's range 10.0.15.15 to 10.0.15.30 which is within the VPC?

/28 is 16 addresses. 0-15, 16-31, etc. (0 and 15 -- all-zeros and all-ones addresses -- are reserved for network and broadcast) – Ricky Jan 08 '21 at 02:20

Yes, but it's not a valid /28.
10.0.15.0/28 or 10.0.15.16/28 are valid ranges.

Why isn't it a valid /28 and why should it be a multiple of 16 ? – Akram ElectroTech Jan 07 '21 at 19:08

1A /28 subnet requires the lowest four bits - the host bits - to be all zero. – Zac67 Jan 07 '21 at 19:16
