The subnet mask is used for this purpose. It indicates how much of the address is for network, and the remaining part is for the hosts.

When the host portion of an IP address is all binary ones?

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


A subnet mask separates?

A submask is designed to separate the network id portion of an IP address from the host or client portion. This helps a router determine whether the packet needs to be forwarded to another network.


How do you know how many bits represent the network portion and the 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.


What is network portion and host portion?

In an IP address, the network portion identifies the specific network to which a device belongs, while the host portion identifies the individual device within that network. This structure allows for efficient routing of data across the internet by segregating the address into parts that signify the network and the specific device. The division between the network and host portions is determined by the subnet mask, which specifies how many bits are allocated to each portion. For example, in the IP address 192.168.1.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, "192.168.1" represents the network portion, and "10" represents the host portion.


How do you know which bits are host bit in a subnet mask?

Since a subnet mask is used to separate the network id from the host id, any 1 bits indicate the network portion and the 0 bits indicate host portion. As an example, in the subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 This indicates the first two octets are used for the network, and the last two octets (ipV4) are used for host portion of an address.


Which value represents the host portion of IP address 128.107.10.11 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0?

Seeing as the IP address of 128.107.10.11 is a class B network, the host portion is 10.11

Why do you AND ing the subnet and ip 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.
