Understanding IP Addressing and Subnet Masks

IP addressing assigns a numeric label to each device on a network, enabling location and identification within the Internet Protocol framework. A subnet mask differentiates the network portion from the host portion of an IP address, ensuring unique identification for each host. For example, the IP address 192.168.155.00 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 illustrates this concept.

IP Addressing : Every device linked to a computer network that makes use of the Internet Protocol is given an IP (Internet
Protocol) address, which is a numeric label. It accomplishes two major tasks: locating the host within the network and
identifying the host or network [Link] example ,we can consider a IP address of
[Link]

Host
Network

Subnet Mask : Each host for a network ,network part of the address will be same but the host part must be [Link] identify
the which portion of 32 bit numbers is network and which is host ,the idea of subnet mask arrived. For example,
