We're on 24.04 and this is still the case.

There is absolutely no reason to be asked about subnet.

IPv4 CIDR segmentation is pretty cut and dry

For any given IP address in CIDR format, the "Network" will always be the same, no matter the environment.

For example:

# ipcalc 172.16.59.32/27

Address: 172.16.59.32 10101100.00010000.00111011.001 00000
Netmask: 255.255.255.224 = 27 11111111.11111111.11111111.111 00000
Wildcard: 0.0.0.31 00000000.00000000.00000000.000 11111
=>
Network: 172.16.59.32/27 10101100.00010000.00111011.001 00000
HostMin: 172.16.59.33 10101100.00010000.00111011.001 00001
HostMax: 172.16.59.62 10101100.00010000.00111011.001 11110
Broadcast: 172.16.59.63 10101100.00010000.00111011.001 11111
Hosts/Net: 30 Class B, Private Internet

There is absolutely no possible scenario for this .32/27's subnet to ever be anything other than "172.16.59.32".
