what is 24bit netmask
Using a 24-bit netmask, the network would be capable of 2,097,150 networks or 254 different hosts with an IP range of 192.0.1.x - 223.255.254.x. This is commonly plenty of addresses for one network.A simple formula can be used to determine the capable amount of networks a netmask can support.n the above example, you have an example of a 32-bit address. However, this address is a broadcast address and does not allow any hosts (computers or other network devices) to be connected to it. A commonly used netmask is a 24-bit netmask, as seen below.
