Reflection: IP Addressing Table
After running ipconfig, fill in the table with the assigned IP addresses:
Devic IPv4 Subnet Default
e Address Mask Gateway
PC 192.168.0. 255.255.25 192.168.0.1
2 5.0
Lapto 169.168.0. 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0
p 1
• Understanding IP Addressing
• The IP address uniquely identifies each device on the network.
• The Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0) determines the network
(192.168.0) and host (X/Y) portions.
• The Default Gateway (192.168.0.1) is the router’s address,
enabling internet access.
M.KEERTHI
2023002211
• Devices receive an IP address between 192.168.0.2 -
192.168.0.254, ensuring each has a unique identity within the
network.
