TCP/IP Addressing

IPv4 · Subnets · Classes A, B, C

Worked example — which part is the network?

IP 192.168.1.45 with mask 255.255.255.0

11000000.10101000.00000001.00101101

■ network bits   ■ host bits — what do the 1s in the mask cover?

# Let's check it ourselves — try changing the mask
import ipaddress
net = ipaddress.ip_network("192.168.1.45/24", strict=False)
print(net.network_address)   # ?
print(net.num_addresses)     # ?

What do you expect it to print before we run it?

Worksheet — Subnets (page 1)

1. Write 255.255.255.0 in binary.
2. How many hosts fit in a /24?
3. Which of these two devices can talk directly?

Current question

Your device is 192.168.1.45 and the mask is 255.255.255.0. Which part of that address names the network — and what do you think the rest is for?

Take your time. You can think out loud, type, or draw it — and ask for a hint whenever you'd like.

What I understoodYou noticed the mask has three 255s — that's a great clue.
↻
Worth another lookWhat do the 255s tell us about the first three numbers?
?
Next guiding questionIf 192.168.1 is the street, what might 45 be?
