Could you clarify if the subnet mask "255.255.255.0" is functionally equivalent to the CIDR notation of "/24" in terms of network addressing? My understanding is that a subnet mask of "255.255.255.0" represents the first 24 bits of an IP address being dedicated to the network address, while "/24" in CIDR notation specifies the same number of bits for the network prefix. Are these two representations interchangeable or are there specific scenarios where one should be used over the other?

This count of 24 consecutive ones is often referred to as the subnet mask length.

In CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation, this is expressed as /24 (pronounced slash twenty four ).
