The class C range is 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255
192.168.0.254 is a valid "class C" IP address.
If the first byte is in the range 192-223, that's a class C address.
The offset for a Class C IP address is 24 bits.
Class C
This is a class C address. This class ranges from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
Class B, if you are referring to classful addressing schemes.
Class C address
The number of possible IP address decreases as one steps down from Class A to Class C IP addresses because the availability of usable hosts. There is a decrease in the number of usable hosts from Class A to Class C IP addresses.
Class C IP addresses range from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255. However, the first address in each subnet is reserved as the network address, and the last address is reserved for the broadcast address. Therefore, valid Class C addresses that can be assigned to hosts typically range from 192.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254, excluding the network and broadcast addresses within any specific subnet.
IP address can really help to identify which type of network it is connected to. First we have to know the class of IP, there are 3 class of IP that we can use. Class A : 1.0.0.0 - - 126.255.255.255 (255.0.0.0) [Revised] Class B : 128.0.0.0 - - 191.255.255.255 (255.255.0.0) Class C : 192.0.0.0 - - 223.255.255.255 (255.255.255.0) Second, we have to identify if the given IP is from private or public range, every class of IP has its private range of IP. Class A : 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 Class B : 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 Class C : 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 After deciding that we can get a bulk piece of information about the network with which it is connected.
The First Octet is used to derive the Class of an IP address...... Eg: 192.168.1.1------ The IP class for this IP add is CLASS "C" as the first Octet is 192.
The IP address 201.18.0.0 belongs to Class C. In Classful networking, Class C addresses range from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 and are typically used for small to medium-sized networks. The first octet (201) indicates that it falls within this range. Class C addresses have a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
