A wildcard mask can be thought of as an inverted subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 2) inverts to a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.255 (00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 2). A wild card mask is a matching rule. [2] The rule for a wildcard mask is: 0 means that the equivalent bit must match
Largest CIDR block (subnet mask) Host ID size Mask bits Classful description [Note 1] ... 172.16.0.0/12 (255.240.0.0) 20 bits: 12 bits: 16 contiguous class B networks
Subnet masks are also expressed in dot-decimal notation like an IP address. For example, the prefix 198.51.100.0 / 24 would have the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 . Traffic is exchanged between subnets through routers when the routing prefixes of the source address and the destination address differ.
172.16.0.0 2. Subnet mask (The /12 in the IP address in this case means only the left-most 12 bits are 1s, as shown here. This reserves the left 12 bits for the network address (prefix) and the right 32 - 12 = 20 bits for the host address (suffix).) 11111111.11110000.00000000.00000000: 255.240.0.0 3. Bit complement (bitwise NOT) of the subnet mask
A subnet mask is a bitmask that encodes the prefix length associated with an IPv4 address or network in quad-dotted notation: 32 bits, starting with a number of 1-bits equal to the prefix length, ending with 0-bits, and encoded in four-part dotted-decimal format: 255.255.255.0. A subnet mask encodes the same information as a prefix length but ...
