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 applied to it, such as its own firewall rules, which allow for more fine-grained ...
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 ...

IPv6 addresses use the prefix length to identify the network and host portions of an address, formatted inClassless Inter-Domain Routing(CIDR) notation, instead of subnet masks. How does subnetting differ in cloud networks? The process of creating and managing subnets in cloud networks is similar...
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...
Subnetting and IPv4 Addresses An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a way of uniquely identifying devices on a local network or on the internet. The IP address allows your computer to exchange information with other computers around the world. IP addresses have several properties including: ...
