The default subnet mask for this address - a class A address - is 255.0.0.0 (same as /8).
The submask indicates the division between the network id and the host information in an ipV4 address. The default subnet mask indicates the presence of a class A, B, or C based network (the default) without subnetting.
The broadcast address on IPv4 networks is the subnet address, padded on the right with ones. For example, if the subnet address is 192.168.x.y, with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, then the broadcast address is 192.168.255.255.
The network address of an IPv4 address of 192.168.7.5 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 would be 192.168.7.0. Remember that the subnet mask determines the network portion of the IP Address.
The subnet mask; it has to be the same for both units. Also, they have to be on the same network segment.
The subnet mask itself is an IP Address so it is also 32 bits
255.0.0.0 for a class A correct. but why? well, 10.10.0.0 is a class a network and all class "a" networks use a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. the range of class "a" networks is 1-126.
The subnet mask would be 255.0.0.0 considering it to be class A address. you can check it by typing the IP address in the wireless network properties of IPv4 in your laptop.
To get the subnet of an IPv4 address you need to know the subnet mask. To write the IP address in binary, simply convert each octet to its binary equivalent and remove the periods (dots). Thus 220.200.190.0 becomes 11011100110010001011111000000000.

Press and hold the Windows start key on the keyboard (just left of the space bar) and press "r". (If you are not sure about this just press start and type "run" and press enter). You should now get the command prompt. Type "ipconfig" do not type the quotation marks > then press enter. You will see IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. The IPv4 Address.......... then the number is your IP Address.
