236.252.232.0/22
Multicast RFC 5771Class D (Multicast) — /22 prefix — 1,022 usable hosts
Network address — the base address of the block (236.252.232.0). All devices in this subnet share this prefix. Cannot be assigned to a host.
Broadcast address — packets sent to 236.252.235.255 are delivered to every device in the subnet. Also reserved — not assignable.
Usable hosts — the 1,022 addresses between those two that you can assign to servers, VMs, or interfaces.
Subnet mask — 255.255.252.0 is the dotted-decimal equivalent of /22. Older tools and Cisco configs use this format instead of CIDR slash notation.

The first 22 bits (1s in the mask) identify the network. The remaining 10 bits identify hosts within the network.
Subnet Breakdown — splitting into /23
This /22 block can be divided into 2 /23 subnets.
