Generation

# IP Addressing and Subnetting **IP addressing** is a system that assigns unique numerical identifiers to devices on a network, with IPv4 using 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) divided into network and host portions. **Subnetting** is the practice of dividing a larger network into smaller sub-networks by borrowing bits from the host portion, which improves network organization and security. **Key Formula:** - **Number of usable hosts per subnet = 2^n - 2**, where *n* is the number of host bits (subtracting 2 accounts for the network and broadcast addresses) - **Number of subnets = 2^m**, where *m* is the number of borrowed bits from the host portion
