What is 32 subnet mask?
Generally speaking, /32 means that the network has only a single IPv4 address and all traffic will go directly between the device with that IPv4 address and the default gateway. The device would not be able to communicate with other devices on the network.
What does a 24 subnet mask mean?
255.255.255.0
24 indicates that the first 24 bits of the address are masked (255.255.255.0). a /16 would translate into 255.255.0.0. Here is some more information you can refer to: Guide | Introduction to IP Addressing. Guide | CIDR and Subnetting.
What is the slash notation for the subnet mask 255.255 248.0 eg 24?
Understanding CIDR Subnet Mask Notation
| Subnet Mask | CIDR Prefix | Number of /24 networks |
|---|---|---|
| 255.255.255.0 | /24 | 1 |
| 255.255.254.0 | /23 | 2 |
| 255.255.252.0 | /22 | 4 |
| 255.255.248.0 | /21 | 8 |
Can I use a 31 subnet mask?
In mixed routing mode, you can configure any external interface to use an IPv4 address with a 31-bit subnet mask. A 31-bit subnet mask is often used for an interface that is the endpoint of a point-to-point network. The use of 31-bit subnet masks for IPv4 point-to-point links is described in RFC 3021.
How many IPS are in a 27 subnet?

| CIDR | Subnet mask | # of IP addresses |
|---|---|---|
| /27 | 255.255.255.224 | 32 |
| /26 | 255.255.255.192 | 64 |
| /25 | 255.255.255.128 | 128 |
| /24 | 255.255.255.0 | 256 |
When would you use a 32 subnet mask?
/32 mask is used only to designate a host, not network. I use them for loopbacks. /32 mask when applied to an interface defines only one address, which is useful for loopbacks because they don’t waste addresses. Additionally OSPF by default will advertise any loopbacks as a /32 regardless of the actual mask used.
