How to separate the network into different subnets

network-designsubnetvlan

I appolgize in advance for any elementry questions, as it has been a LONG time since college and I had hoped to never subnet again… 🙂

I want to subnet a 192.168.1.x with 8 segments. Each will not comunicate with the other, but all will connect to the same gateway (192.168.1.1).
Users, based on there ip address, will be able to see which ever one of the networks that they are addressed to (IE. host 192.168.1.23 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224 whould be able to see the 192.168.1.0 network, but not the 192.168.1.32 network.)

Is this workable? I would also like to have other users on the supernet, see all of the subnets.

You can easily subnet into 8 blocks of 32 address using a mask of /27 (255.255.255.224), however they won't all have the same gateway address as they'll be in different subnets of course. As for this supernet thing, it'll get complex because one side will be able to send to the other but not the reverse - bad idea, just route it properly.
