In the context of IP addressing, what does CIDR notation, such as /24, represent?
- It designates the broadcast address for a given network.
- It indicates the total number of available IP addresses in a network.
- It signifies the number of routers in a network.
- It specifies the subnet mask to divide an IP address into network and host portions.
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation, like /24, represents the subnet mask that divides an IP address into network and host portions. In this example, /24 signifies that the first 24 bits of the address are dedicated to the network, and the remaining bits are for host addressing.
