What is the purpose of the netmask in a dynamic DHCP statement:

ip nat pool poolname 209.165.200.226 209.165.200.240 netmask 255.255.255.224

I know, that I should choose the netmask to be larger then the range of the IP adresses given in the statement. So can I just use netmask of 255.255.255.0 as it is restricted to the range anyways?

    The network mask defines the size of the local subnet - which bits are part of the network prefix and which ones identify hosts within the subnet. Whether you hand all host IP addresses out via DHCP or not is your decision. – Zac67 Jan 08 '23 at 17:49
