What is the difference between subnet mask and default
subnet mask

Answer Posted / 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
