VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks) Logical subgroups
that constitute a Local Area Network (LAN). This is done in

Wildcard Mask Specifies which IP address bits are
used, and which bits are ignored. A wild card mask
of 255.255.255.255 indicates that no bit is important.
A wildcard of 0.0.0.0 indicates that all the bits are
important.
For example, if the destination IP address is 149.36.184.198
and the wildcard mask is 255.36.184.00, the first two bits
of the IP address are used, while the last two bits are
ignored.
