A subnet mask is an IP address that is used to identify the network and host components of an IP address. It is used to differentiate the network portion of an address from the host portion. Subnet masks are represented in the form of four numbers, separated by periods. The numbers range from 0 to 255 and are used to represent the network and subnet portions of the IP address.
