A subnet is a subdivision of an IP network. It is a logical partition of an IP network into multiple subnets, each of which can be assigned to a distinct group of hosts. Subnets are created by dividing the IP network address into several network address ranges. Each subnet is a separate broadcast domain and, by using different subnet masks, the size of the subnet can be adjusted to fit the required number of hosts.
