Why subnet mask for IP 10.0.1.4 is 255.255.255.0?
- by Rohit Kandhal
Well I'm not sure whether I'm missing something here. But all I've read is that if first octet of IP is within 0 - 127 then it is categorized as Class A subnet and correspondingly Subnet Mask for this is 255.0.0.0 but when I connect my system to Apple airport then my system gets IP as 10.0.1.4 however subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 not 255.0.0.0. Please explain what I'm missing here.
If there is something like for apple router subnet mask is calculated on some different flags then please let me know.
