[. . . ] A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading 91 1's followed by consecutive trailing 0's, such as 11111111. 11111111. 11111111. 00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as "x" number of leading 1's. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1's in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID. For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001. 10110000. 10010000. 00000111, and if its network mask is, 11111111. 11111111. 11110000. 00000000 It means the device's network address is 11011001. 10110000. 10010000. 00000000, and its host ID is, 00000000. 00000000. 00000000. 00000111.
