Generation

# IP Addressing and Subnetting **IP addressing** is a system that assigns unique numerical identifiers to devices on a network, enabling them to communicate with each other (e.g., 192.168.1.1). **Subnetting** is the practice of dividing a larger network into smaller, logical sub-networks by manipulating the subnet mask, which determines how many bits represent the network versus host portions of an IP address. ## Why It Matters This matters because it enables efficient use of limited IP address space, improves network performance by reducing broadcast traffic, and enhances security by isolating network segments—allowing organizations to properly organize thousands of devices while maintaining control over network traffic flow and access.
