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.
If this is a default subnet mask, then it would be a class C subnet mask. If you are subnetting a network and this is not the default subnet mask, then it could be either a class A or class B.
Look at the first octet value and check the corresponding range. 1-126 class A, subnet mask 255.0.0.0 128-191 class B, subnet mask 255.255.0.0 192-223 class C, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
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.
255.0.0.0The default subnet mask of a class A network is 255.0.0.0
The default subnet mask would be 255.255.0.0 for a class B address.
The octets are different - a class a is 255.0.0.0 and a class C is 255.255.255.0 for a default subnet mask. Of course, if you are subnetting then this doesn't apply.
In a Class A address, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0, allowing for a large number of hosts within a single network, but with 16 bits designated for the subnet ID, the subnet mask becomes 255.255.0.0. In contrast, a Class B address has a default subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, and with 8 bits for the subnet ID, the subnet mask would typically be 255.255.255.0. Thus, the key difference lies in the number of bits allocated for the subnet ID and the resulting subnet masks, affecting the number of available subnets and hosts per subnet.
Looking at the first octet - it is clear that it belongs to class A. Thus subnet mask is 255.0.0.0
Since this is a Class C address, the default network mask is 255.255.255.0.Since this is a Class C address, the default network mask is 255.255.255.0.Since this is a Class C address, the default network mask is 255.255.255.0.Since this is a Class C address, the default network mask is 255.255.255.0.
it is a class c address..so default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 it is a private address...
Class A default is 255.0.0.0 Class B default is 255.255.0.0 Class C default is 255.255.255.0
195.85.8.0 is a class C network. The subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0 and the network address is 195.85.8.0
