4 numbers ranging between 0 and 255, separated by dots

3 numbers ranging between 0 and 255, separated by dots

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -IPv4 addresses are usually represented in dot-decimal notation, consisting of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by dots, e.g., 192.0.2.1. Each part represents a group of 8 bits (an octet) of the address.

Detailed explanation-2: -An IP address is a string of numbers separated by periods. IP addresses are expressed as a set of four numbers-an example address might be 192.158.1.38. Each number in the set can range from 0 to 255. So, the full IP addressing range goes from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parts of your IP address An IP address has two parts: the network ID, comprising the first three numbers of the address, and a host ID, the fourth number in the address. So on your home network-192.168.1.1, for example – 192.168.1 is the network ID, and the final number is the host ID.

Detailed explanation-4: -An IP address is a set of four numbers in the range of 0 to 255 separated by periods. Each of the four numbers is referred to as an octet. The first three numbers are used to identify the network segment, the third number identifies the device.

Detailed explanation-5: -Every IP address-such as 76.240. 249.145-is also divided into two sections that define 1) your network and 2) your computer, or host. Those two sections comprise the basic structure of IP addresses: the network ID and the host ID. All computers on the same network share the same network ID.
