Detailed explanation-1: -IP address stands for “Internet Protocol address.” The Internet Protocol is a set of rules for communication over the internet, such as sending mail, streaming video, or connecting to a website. An IP address identifies a network or device on the internet.
Detailed explanation-2: -We can use the following formula to calculate the total number of IP addresses within a subnet by the known the amount of host bits in the subnet mask. Using the formula 2H, where H represents the host bit, we get the following results: Class A = 224 = 16, 777, 216 total IPs. Class B = 216 = 65, 536 total IPs.
Detailed explanation-3: -An IP address is typically written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields separated by periods. Each 8-bit field represents a byte of the IP address. This form of representing the bytes of an IP address is often referred to as the dotted-decimal format.
