Servers and workstations Êcan share the same subnet ( a network portion of IP address). However, it is recommended you use different subnetsÊwhen there are several network devices.
Network Portion Host Portion
It represents the network portion
This is a class C address. The network portion is the first three octets, so it would be 209.240.80.0.
Seeing as the IP address of 128.107.10.11 is a class B network, the host portion is 10.11
Thirty bits make up the network portion of a class C address. Three bits are borrowed for the subnet mask. There is also a class A and a class B that are comprised of bits.
The host portion specifies the particular network interface's address. The network portion specifies the network address.
Network Portion Host Portion

When we express an IPv4 network address, we add a prefix length to the network address. The prefix length is the number of bits in the address that gives us the network portion. For example, in 172.16.4.0 /24, the /24 is the prefix length - it tells us that the first 24 bits are the network address. This leaves the remaining 8 bits, the last octet, as the host portion.
To seprate an ip address from the network address we use subnet mask that can seprate the ip address from the network address
The host portion of an IP address of all zeros indicates that you are referring to 'this network'. For example, the address 145.5.0.0 means the network 145.5
When you set up a sub network you decide upon the subnet mask and this determines the network address (all zeros in the subnet portion of the address) and the broadcast address (all ones in the subnet portion of the address). When you assign the host addresses in your subnet, then you use the addresses between the network address and the broadcast address.
This is a class C address. The network portion is the first three octets, so it would be 209.240.80.0.
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.

Because this is the way you can easily and quickly isolate the network portion from the host portion of the address to just get the network id, which would be using for routing purposes.
An "ip address" is a complete source or destination address that has a network id portion and a client or host portion. The network id is just a piece of the IP address. So, a public ip is an IP address that can be routed, whereas the network id is just a part of the public ip. They aren't different; the network id is part of the ip address.
