Worked example — which part is the network?
IP 192.168.1.45 with mask 255.255.255.0

■ network bits ■ host bits — what do the 1s in the mask cover?
# Let's check it ourselves — try changing the mask import ipaddress net = ipaddress.ip_network("192.168.1.45/24", strict=False) print(net.network_address) # ? print(net.num_addresses) # ?
What do you expect it to print before we run it?

Current question
Your device is 192.168.1.45 and the mask is 255.255.255.0. Which part of that address names the network — and what do you think the rest is for?
Take your time. You can think out loud, type, or draw it — and ask for a hint whenever you'd like.

What I understoodYou noticed the mask has three 255s — that's a great clue.
↻
Worth another lookWhat do the 255s tell us about the first three numbers?
