When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP 
address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP 
network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.   
 
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 
11011001.10110000.1001
0000.00000111, and if its network mask is,...
