Study Notes
IPv4 Address
- An IPv4 address is represented by 4 numbers separated by dots, each in the range of 0-255.
- These numbers need to be converted to 0 and 1 for computers to understand.
- An example of an IPv4 address is 189.123.123.90.
Static IP Address
- Static IP addresses do not change with time.
- They are considered permanent internet addresses.
- DNS servers primarily use static IP addresses.
- A device needs a static IP address to send packets to the internet (WAN).
Subnet
- A subnet is a logical grouping of connected network devices.
- Devices on a subnet are typically located physically close together on a LAN.
- Subnets are used to divide networks into logical segments for better administration.
- Properly implemented subnets enhance network performance and security.
- Devices on a subnet share a contiguous group of IP address numbers.
- A subnet is essentially a smaller network within a larger network.
- Subnetting improves network efficiency by reducing the distance network traffic needs to travel, minimizing unnecessary router hops.
- Subnetting defines which bits of the IP address belong to the network portion (subnet) and which belong to the host.
- A subnet mask, with a "1" indicating network bits, demarcates network and host portions of IP address.
