Could you elaborate on the process of creating a subnet mask, please? I understand it's a crucial aspect of networking, but I'm not entirely sure how to approach it. Could you provide a step-by-step guide on how to determine the appropriate subnet mask for a given network? Perhaps explain the role it plays in segmenting the network and how it affects IP addressing. Also, are there any best practices or considerations to take into account while creating a subnet mask? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

To calculate a subnet mask from an IP address, one must initially identify the number of network bits based on the desired subnet size.

The next step is to convert the CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation, which represents the number of network bits, into binary format.

Once the CIDR notation is converted to binary, the next step is to fill in the corresponding network bits with "1" and the remaining host bits with "0".

This binary representation forms the subnet mask, which is used to distinguish between the network address and host addresses within a subnet.
