What benefits does the subnet mask provide? What does a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0 mean?
A The subnet mask provide some benifits which are given
below.
1. It improve the network performance and speed
2. Reduce network congestion
3 Boost network security
4 Control network growth
5 Ease administration
it devides netwrok's broadcast domain so user can better control
traffic flow.
255.255.252.0 it is the sub net mask .
by this you can determine the initial address and the number of
host which will be usable and 255.255.252 is sub net mask
by this we determine 1024 total host and first and last ip is not
use becuase it is used for broadcast. i calculate and write below
please see it.
