The notation "192.0.2.0/24" represents a specific range of IP addresses used in computer networking. The "/24" indicates that the first 24 bits of the address are fixed, meaning this range can accommodate 256 unique IP addresses, from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255. This format is part of the CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) system, which helps manage IP address allocation more efficiently. This particular IP range, 192.0.2.0/24, is designated as a TEST-NET address. It is often used for documentation and examples, ensuring that real networks are not affected during testing or educational purposes. This helps prevent confusion and maintains the integrity of actual
