A subnet is a group of hosts with addresses in a particular range. A subnet consists of two pieces, the network prefix and the subnet mask. Suppose, we have a network 10.23.2.0/255.255.255.0 here the address 10.23.2.0 is the network prefix with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 .
A subnet refers to a collection of hosts sharing addresses within a specific range. The definition of a subnet comprises two essential elements: the network prefix and the subnet mask. For instance, consider a network with the address 10.23.2.0/255.255.255.0 where, 255.255.255.0 is a subnet mask and 10.23.2.0 serves as the network prefix.
