ipv4 syntax question

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Precisely! This means 24 bits (255.255.255.*) for subnetting and 8 bits (*) for hosts.

In other words, you can assign on this network any host from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254

This is commonly used for networks with less than 254 hosts. (e.g home and small offices networks)
