Program Plan Intro

Subnet:

  • Subnet divides the network into logical pieces. This process is known as subnetting.
  • Systems or computers can communicate directly with each other if they belong to the same subnet or subnetwork.
  • Subnet contains the host addresses of a particular network.
  • The computers which are outside of a subnet can communicate with other computers only through routers.

Subnet mask:

  • A subnet mask is a 32 bit number that is used to divide IP address into network and host addresses.
  • The number of IPs to a specific network can be limited by a single subnet mask.
  • Single network can be organized into smaller networks called subnets by using multiple subnet masks.
  • Subnet mask is used to identify the computers that belong to a specific TCP/IP network.
  • Systems or computers can communicate directly with each other if they are belongs to the same subnet.
  • The computers which are outside of the subnet can communicate with other computers only through routers.
  • Net mask is also defined as the amount of bits that are used for network portion.

Internet Protocol (IP) address:

  • IP is a protocol used in network layer of internet model.
  • It is used to routes the packet through an optimal path in a network.
  • IP performs addressing to find the next computer in an optimal path.
  • Each IP address consists of two parts; Network and Host part.
  • An IP address is a 32 bit number containing 4 octets.
  • Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) provides additional specification for an IP address where additional specification implies to the number of significant bits that makeup a network portion.
  • Example: Consider an IP address “192.168.0.25”
    • Given IP address is class C address so it is associated with a subnet mask “255.255.255.0”
    • In CIDR notation, this can be represented as “192.168.0.25/24”. This means 24 bits of an IP address is significant for network portion.
