- You can use all 4 subnets on your example of 10.60.0.0/24 range. There are times when you need the "ip subnet-zero" command. In your case you should not need. If you you had chosen the range 10.0.0.0 /24, then the command ip subnet-zero command would be relevant.
- You should not use 10.60.0.63 as a host IP address and a broadcast address at the same time. In other words if you subnet mask is 255.255.255.192, 224, 240, 248 or 252 then do not use the .[63] address for a host. However if in the above example your subnet mask was 255.255.255.128 or .0 then the [.63] address can be used for a host.
