Network Address: The first address, network address is important because it is used in routing a packet to its destination network. The network address is the identifier of a network.

Network mask: A network mask or a default mask in classification addressing is a 32 – bit number with n leftmost bits all set to 1s and (32 – n ) rightmost bits all set to Os.
