  this is CIDR format.  There are two parts to an IP address, the network number and the host number.

  The subnet mask shows what part is which.  /24 means that the first 24 bits of the IP address are part of the Network number (192.168.0) the last part is part of the host address (1-254).

  hello Allan49, the /24 is referring to the subnet mask.  /24 indicates that the first 24 bits of the address are masked (255.255.255.0).  a /16 would translate into 255.255.0.0.  Here is some more information you can refer to:
