As I mention in earlier article network address will give when we make all host side bits zero. The main difference between class full and class less IP addressing is there is no standard bit position to divide network and host side in class less IP. But we had to tell what is the point that network and host side divide in this case. That is why sub net mask address comes to seen. Subnet mask address is also 32 bit binary number. The sub net mask address will give when all network side bits makes 1(one ‘s) and all host side bits makes 0(zero). I think you can take better idea by looking following e.g. e.g. 1 IP Addr: 192.168.1.1 11000000.10101000.00000001 .00000001 Sub net mask: 255.255.255.0 ...
