Internet Protocol (IP) is the backbone of internet communication. Subnetting is the process of dividing a network into subnetworks and it's an important part of designing computer networks. In this course, you'll discover IP addressing concepts such as addressing, binary numbering, and dotted decimal notation. Then you'll explore classful addressing, reserved and private addresses, and network masks. You'll learn about classless addressing and the new format for IP addresses, IPv6. You'll explore subnetting and its purpose and subnet mask rules. Then you'll discover the art and the science of subnetting and how to calculate subnets. Finally, you'll learn about key subnet addresses and how to implement a subnet plan. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
