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.
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.
Class A default is 255.0.0.0 Class B default is 255.255.0.0 Class C default is 255.255.255.0
The default subnet mask for this address - a class A address - is 255.0.0.0 (same as /8).
it is a class c address..so default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 it is a private address...
255.255.0.0255.255.0.0 is the default for a class B address
The default subnet mask would be 255.255.0.0 for a class B address.
172.16.0.0. The first ip address within this subnet is 172.16.0.1
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.
Since 157.54.4.201 falls in the class B address range the default subnet mask would be: 255.255.0.0 128 - 191 is 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.
A Class C address has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which allows for 256 total IP addresses (from 0 to 255) in each subnet. However, two addresses are reserved: one for the network address and one for the broadcast address. This means there are 254 usable addresses in a Class C subnet.
The IP address 10.10.10.1 belongs to the private IP address range defined by the Class A network. A common subnet mask used with this address is 255.255.255.0, which allows for 256 IP addresses within the subnet (from 10.10.10.0 to 10.10.10.255). Other subnet masks, such as 255.255.0.0 (Class B) or 255.0.0.0 (Class A), can also be used, depending on the specific network design requirements.
