A /24 subnet has 256 addresses (254 usable: subtract network and broadcast). Network address = IP AND subnet mask. Broadcast = network address OR (inverted mask). CIDR notation /n means n bits set to 1 in the mask. Subnetting divides large networks for routing efficiency and security isolation. IPv4 exhaustion has driven migration to IPv6 with 128-bit addresses.
