Hi,
255.255.255.0 means that u have 24 bits enabled for network part and last 8 bits for hosts.
It means, if I use the ip address 192.168.1.x
This x can be from 0-255.
So u can have total 256 hosts in this network.
i.e. pow(2,8)..
and if u have subnet as 255.255.0.0 … it means u can have pow(2,16) hosts in the network. pow = square
