The default subnet mask for a Class C network is /24 which corresponds to 255.255.255.0, allowing for up to 256 IP addresses in a single subnet.

The default subnet mask for a Class C network is c. /24. In dot-decimal notation, this corresponds to 255.255.255.0. Class C IP addresses range from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255, and the /24 subnet mask allows for up to 256 IP addresses within a single subnet, with the last octet reserved for host identification.
