I have networking homework questions on attached image: ## Networking Concepts: Subnet Masks and Network IDsEach network must have a unique network ID and **use the subnet mask** **255.0.0.0**.- The number of host bits for addresses using this subnet mask is ___________.- In binary, the network address will have all host bits equal to ___________.- In binary, the broadcast address will have all host bits equal to ___________.- All hosts on the same network must have the same ___________ ID.### Explanation of Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0The subnet mask 255.0.0.0 indicates that the first 8 bits (or the first octet) are used for the network part of the address, meaning the remaining 24 bits are available for host IDs. This allows for a significant number of hosts within a single network, suitable for large organizations or ISPs.

WE have 5 IP address classes which are divided into two parts as Network ID part and Host ID part.Network Id is used to represent the Network address and Host ID part is used to represent the host address for the network. Now the subnet mask 255.0.0.0 is used for class A .In this subnet mask 255 represens the network part which is represented in binary as 8 1’s as 11111111 and 0.0..0 represents the host part which is represented in binary as 8 0’s as 00000000.00000000.00000000. Hence total 32-bits are divided as 8-bits for network and 24-bits for host ID part as shown below: 8-bits(Network Part) 24 –bits(Host Part) Now here 24 bits are used for host addresses. Hence a number of hosts bits for addresses using this subnet mask is 24 bits. In binary, the network address will have all hosts bits equal to 0. In binary, the broadcast address will have all hosts bits equal to 1. All hosts on the same network must have the same Network ID.
