Subnet mask is a feature of the Internet Protocol (IP), which divides a larger network into smaller subnetworks. Subnet masks are used to identify the network and host portions of an IP address so that routers can send data to the correct host within a particular network. Subnet masks consist of four numbers, separated by dots that range from 0 to 255.
