In-Band Subnet The subnet address mask associated with the in-band IP address shown on the screen

Mask(see Note above). Network routers use the subnet mask to determine the network or subnet address portion of a host’s IP address. The bits in the IP address that contain the network address (including the subnet) are set to 1 in the address mask, and the bits that contain the host identifier are set to 0.

Default Value	0.0.0.0 (no subnet mask assigned)
