Hello,

I am confused with the followings;

- What does the mean of 255.255.255.255 as a subnet mask?

- What does the mean of 1.0.0.0 as a subnet mask?

Thanks in advance !

It means that the route is for a single host address, not a subnet.

That's not likely to be a useful subnet mask. It means the network portion
of the address is the low-order bit of the first octet.
