This is how I explain subnetting to a beginner This article explains subnetting by reframing an IP address as a structured 32-bit number composed of four bytes, which makes the distinction between network and host bits intuitive. It defines subnet masks (for example, /24 = 255.255.255.0), explains how to calculate usable hosts and addresses, and provides practice examples and resources from Decoded Security. #IPaddress #SubnetMask

Subnetting breaks down an IP address into network and host bits by viewing it as 32 bits divided into four bytes. Subnet masks like /24 = 255.255.255.0 define the network portion, aiding address calculation. #NetworkBasics #IPSubnetting #TechLearning
