How can you tell if two IP addresses are the same subnet?
When comparing two IP address/subnet combinations, the addresses must match for any section where the subnet value is 255. For a subnet of 255.255. 255.0, we expect to see the first three sections of the IP address match (reading left to right) if they are in the same subnet.

What is the maximum number of IP address?
An IP address (internet protocol address) is a numerical representation that uniquely identifies a specific interface on the network. Addresses in IPv4 are 32-bits long. This allows for a maximum of 4,294,967,296 (232) unique addresses.
How many physical addresses can be assigned to a NIC?
