014.01.50.4. In the provided text, a small subnet like 10.23.2.0/24 is recommended. Why is this considered a suitable choice, and what does the term "class C subnets" refer to in this context?
A small subnet is recommended in the text, as generally on a small network, number of hosts is lesser than 254, and for such a smaller network this subnet i.e. 10.23.2.0/24 is perfect. Using larger subnets comes with more cost. The term class C subnets refer to the subnet 255.255.255.0 range which is mentioned as /24 in the subnet mentioned earlier.
A small subnet, such as 10.23.2.0/24, is recommended in the text because, typically, on a small network, the number of hosts is fewer than 254, making this subnet size suitable. Opting for larger subnets can result in unnecessary costs. In this context, the term class C subnets refers to the subnet range 255.255.255.0, as indicated by the /24 notation in the mentioned subnet.
