Subnet masks define the boundaries between the network and host portions of an IP address. They are used to determine which devices can communicate on a local network versus across network boundaries. There are different subnet mask structures for class A, B, and C IP addresses. The network address is the starting IP that defines a network boundary, while the broadcast address is the ending IP - all devices with IPs between these can communicate locally. Subnetting is used to logically break a major network into smaller subnets to reduce IP address waste. It involves increasing the network bits in the subnet mask to create more networks with fewer available hosts per network. Variable length subnet masking (VLSM) allows different subnet masks within the same network, enabling even more efficient use

Subnet Mask Value:
Subnet mask value defines properties of IP Address to which it
can communicate and to which it can not Subnet mask value defines Network component and host component of an IP address Ip address uses subnet mask to find out boundaries of network Subnet mask value is a driver of IP address Network Bits are always represented with !ost bits are always represented with " Subnet Mask Structure: #lass A Subnet Mast structure N$!$!$! $""""""""$""""""""$"""""""" %&&$"$"$" #lass B Subnet Mask Structure N$N$!$! $$""""""""$"""""""" #lass # Subnet Mast Structure N$N$N$! $$$"""""""" %&&$%&&$%&&$" 'hat is Network Address Network Address is the identification address for all the systems in the network (he systems with same network address can communicate with each other Systems with different network addresses can not communicate )enerally 'hat is Broadcast Address Broadcast Address is used to deliver a broadcast messa)e to all the computers in the network (he systems with same network address can have same broadcast address All the systems in between Network address and broadcast address form a lo)ical network to communicate with each other$ note:Network Address and Broad cast Address are the boundaries of a network$ (hey can*t be assi)ned to computers !ow to find out Network Address Identify class of IP address and Subnet mask Structure$ +eplace host portion with *"*,or- Perform a lo)ical AN. operation between IP Address and subnet mask value !ow to find out Broadcast Address Identify class of Ip Address and Subnet mask Structure +eplace !ost portion with %&& perform a lo)ical /+ operation between IP Address and inverse Subnetmask value 01: "$2&$%%3$4 N$!$!$!
