What is the difference between subnet mask and default subnet mask..

Answer / vijay

a subnet mask can be changed as per the hosts/subnets requirement.default subnet mask is whats been the default for a particular address class(class C=255.255.255.0, class B=255.255.0.0 class A = 255.0.0.0).
but we can use a class C address with subnet 255.255.0.0 i.e 192.168.1.2/16 if we need more hosts.
hope this helps

Answer / amar pratap

The default subnet mask just inbuild network portion(bits)
which is already define.in ipv4 class A has default subnet
mask is 255.0.0.0,for Class B =255.255.0.0,and for class C
= 255.255.255.0, where as subnet mask represent the number
of bits used by network and rest for Host(after
subnetting).if there is no subnetting occur in network then
the both are same.
