Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The reason that the highest octet value is 255 is that IP addresses are given in bits, which are the power of 2. The maximum number you can write with bit notation is with 8 1’s or 11111111=255.
Detailed explanation-2: -Class A networks use a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 and have 0-127 as their first octet.
Detailed explanation-3: -255.255. 255.252 is a /30 network mask (or simply netmask), that is, the first 30 bits are used for the network prefix and the last 2 are use to identify the host.
