Ip Addressing: Conversion of Bits Into Decimal Form

IP addresses are 32-bit binary numbers that uniquely identify devices on a network. They are converted to a decimal format for human readability. An IP address is split into four octets, with each octet representing 8 bits that are converted to decimal by multiplying the bit position by a value and adding them together. The classes of IP addresses determine the number of addresses and subnets available.

Classification of IP Addresses
IP /ddress #omponents
/ network number denotes the network segment to which the device
is connected
/ host number specifies the address of the device in the network
segment1 9ost numbers are the numbers between the network number
and the directed broadcast number
)ubnet .ask
)ubnet mask is used to identify the network bits and host bits in the IP address
/ subnet mask always has a series of consecutive !s followed by consecutive s
CLASSES
Class A
1-126
Class B
128 - 191
Class C
192 -223
Class D
224-239
Class E

/ subnet mask cannot start with the bit or ending with the bit !
