In this instance, when you're writing an IP address with that netmask
combination, you're saying *ANY* address on that subnet range.

i.e. If you wrote just 192.168.1.12 only that IP would match.  But when
you wrote 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, it means 192.168.1.0 through to
192.168.1.255.  Though, practically, it usually means 192.168.1.1
through to 192.168.1.254, since the .0 and .255 ending addresses have
their own special uses.

Depending on where you're using IP addresses ending with .0 or .255, you
will be describing a whole subnet, rather than specific IPs.
