A submask is designed to separate the network id portion of an IP address from the host or client portion. This helps a router determine whether the packet needs to be forwarded to another network.

How you create subnet id for a particular id?

To create a subnet ID, you start with the network's base IP address and subnet mask. The subnet mask determines how many bits are allocated for the network and how many for the hosts. By applying the subnet mask to the base IP address, you can identify the subnet ID, which represents the network portion of the address. For example, if your base IP is 192.168.1.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the subnet ID is 192.168.1.0.
