Subnetting is a way of creating smaller networks from large ones by dividing them into smaller segments called 'subnets', each with their own range of IP addresses. Each subnet can have different configurations
Private:Private IP address is assigned to computers within your private space without letting them directly exposed to the Internet. For example, if we have multiple computers, mobile devices within your home you may want to use private IP addresses to address each computer within your home. Priv...
the kind of stuff that people who use IP addresses, but never really thought much about them, might want to know. We're not going to be covering some of the more advanced, or professional, level stuff, like IP classes, classless routing, and custom subnetting...but we will point to so...
Why is subnetting necessary? As the previous example illustrates, the way IP addresses are constructed makes it relatively simple for Internet routers to find the right network to route data into. However, in a Class A network (for instance), there could be millions of connected devices, and ...

Despite these limitations, the benefits of subnetting often outweigh the disadvantages, making it a common practice for many companies to improve the performance and security of their networks. What do the different parts of an IP address mean? This section focuses on IPv4 addresses, which are pre...
While that may seem like a lot of addresses, the world is quickly running out of IPv4 because of the massive amounts of hardware requiring IP addresses. Therefore, IPv6 was invented. IPv6, if you remember, has 16 bytes (128 bits) to work with. For a detailed explanation of IPv6, ...
IP request streamlining Role-based access controls Enhanced subnet management IPAM software should be able to manage IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in tandem without any additional requirements. It should support various subnetting techniques, such as /32 subnets, and should also allow subnet grouping and gr...
I.e. to well explain the answers to your questions requires a deeper and broader understanding of IP addresses and "networks" than is often taught, or even needed most of the time. Let's start first with what's an IP network? Take for example the "networks" 192.168.1.1/2...
Name resolution and IPv6 Name resolutionturns complex IP addresses into human-readable names. IPv6 addresses can be more difficult to work with, so name resolution services, like DNS, must be IPv6-capable. Most Windows- and Linux-based DNS servers have this functionality. ...
