The ones indicate bits in the address used for the network prefix and the trailing block of zeros designates that part as being the host identifier. The following example shows the separation of the network prefix and the host identifier from an address (192.0.2.130) and its associated / 24 subnet mask (255.255.255.0). The operation is ...
For example, an IPv4 address and its subnet mask may be 192.0.2.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively. The CIDR notation for the same IP address and subnet is 192.0.2.1 / 24, because the first 24 bits of the IP address indicate the network and subnet.
For IPv4, a network may also be characterized by its subnet mask or netmask, which is the bitmask that when applied by a bitwise AND operation to any IP address in the network, yields the routing prefix. Subnet masks are also expressed in dot-decimal notation like an address. For example, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask for the prefix 198.51 ...
The DHCP client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on the network subnet using the destination address 255.255.255.255 (limited broadcast) or the specific subnet broadcast address (directed broadcast). A DHCP client may also request an IP address in the DHCPDISCOVER, which the server may take into account when selecting an address to offer.
Some implementations treat the network address and subnet mask as ... network 10.10.20.0/24 via the next-hop router with the IPv4 address of 192.168.100.1, ...
