The 1 bits indicate the use and presence of the network id information. 0 bits represent the location of client information.

Why would a network administrator create a subnet mask?
There has to be some way of identifying how much of an address is the network portion and how much is client portion. The subnet mask identifies this. It may also indicate the presence of a series of subnets within a network. This is a required definition for operating within a LAN.
What enables an system to determine which part of an ip address represents the host and which part represents the network?
The subnet mask. The subnet mask consists of a certain number of ones, followed by a certain number of zeroes (in binary). The ones tell you how many bits in an IP address make up the network part; the zeroes are for the host.The subnet mask.

A network on the internet has a subnet mask 255.255.240.0 what is the maximum number of hosts it can handle?
Convert the subnet mask to binary: 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000The zeroes tell you which bytes indicate the host; in this case, 12 zeroes allow for 212 = 4096 different IP addresses within the subnet. Of these, two (the first and the last) are unusable for a host, so you have a maximum of 4094 hosts.
How do you know which bits are host bit in a subnet mask?
Since a subnet mask is used to separate the network id from the host id, any 1 bits indicate the network portion and the 0 bits indicate host portion. As an example, in the subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 This indicates the first two octets are used for the network, and the last two octets (ipV4) are used for host portion of an address.
Why use the more than one subnet in one ip address?
You don't use more than one subnet in one single IP address. The IP address indicates what subnet you are in and a client may belong to only one subnet at a time.An IP address range may indicate the presence of more than one subnet, however. This is done to split up a larger network into multiple smaller networks.
How do an IP address and its subnet mask function together?
The subnet mask - expressed in binary - starts with a number of ones, followed by zeros. If (for example) the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, this can also be written as /24 - that means that the first 24 bits are ones. In this example, that means that the first 24 bits of the IP address (in this case, exactly 3 bytes) are shared by all devices in the same subnet. So, if your IP address is 200.3.85.7, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, all other computers in the same subnet will also start with 200.3.85.
Within a classful addressing subnet mask the bits indicate that corresponding bits in an IPv4 address contain network information?
the 1 bits
What is a subnetting calculator used for?
A Subnet calculator is used for determining the attributes of an IP subnet including the start of it. Results of the subnet calculation include the access control lists, the subnet range and the subnet bitmap.
Is 192.168.12.8 and 192.198.12.65 in the same subnet?
No. 192.168.12.1 - 192.168.12.254 is one subnet (assuming 255.255.255.0 subnet mask)
What is ip subnet-zero?
If you divide a net into several subnets, subnet-zero is the first subnet. Some older technologies don't allow the use of this first subnet.If you divide a net into several subnets, subnet-zero is the first subnet.

What is the binart equivalent to the dotted decmal net mask-225.225.192.0?
That's not a valid subnet mask. Probably the subnet mask is supposed to be 255.255.192.0. You can convert each of the parts separated by dots to binary separately. Just use a scientific calculator, for example, the one that comes with Windows. To be a valid subnet mask, the binary equivalent must have a certain number of only ones, followed by only zeros.
What is the subnet of 66.237.178.241?
The default subnet would be 255.0.0.0 (class A)
