Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A gateway IP refers to a device on a network which sends local network traffic to other networks. The subnet mask number helps to define the relationship between the host (computers, routers, switches, etc.) and the rest of the network.
Detailed explanation-2: -The gateway can be on any ip address in the range. Usually it is on the second ip address in the range, or the second ip address from the end of the range. The Subnet Address is always on the first ip address in the range, and the Broadcast Address is always on the last one in the range.
Detailed explanation-3: -Note that for each host on your network, the network part of the address will be the same, but the host part must be different.
