Because each IP defines certain subnet mask.
The correct term is subnet mask instead of subnet mass. A subnet mask separates an IP address into the host address and the network address. It is a 32-bit number that can mask an IP address.
The no. of IP's that can be assigned to single computer depends on the subnet mask. if the subnet mask is of A class then the IP's assigned can be 16777216. If the subnet mask is of B class then the no. of IP's that can be assigned is 65536. And if the subnet mask is of C class then the IP's assigned can be 254.
The address you gave is not an IP address; it has the appearance of a subnet mask. It could be a class A or class B subnet mask.
what is the subnet mask for this hst IP prefix format ? Host IP Address: 183.91.104.16
255.255.255.0
There isn't just a single subnet mask that could be used for that address. The default subnet mask would be 255.0.0.0, but there could be others if the network is subnetted.
There is no set subnet mask for different ip configurations. The most common default subnet mask is 255:255:255:0 though, if that helps.
Subnet mask for the above is 255.0.0.0
if the ip address is 192.168.2.1 then the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0
Subnet Mask provides Network & Class Identificationfor an IP Address.
Subnet mask is a mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs to. Default gateway is the gateway in a network that a computer will use to access another network if a gateway is not specified for use.
