Generation

# IP Addressing and Subnetting An **IP address** is a unique numerical label (like 192.168.1.100) that identifies each device on a network, similar to how your home address identifies where you live. It consists of two parts: the **network portion** (which street you're on) and the **host portion** (your specific house number). **Subnetting** is the process of dividing a large network into smaller, more manageable sub-networks by borrowing bits from the host portion to create additional network addresses. We use a **subnet mask** (like 255.255.255.0) to determine which part of the IP address represents the network and which part represents individual devices—this allows organizations to efficiently organize their networks, improve security, and reduce wasted IP addresses.
