18. IP stands for Internet Protocol An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods that identifies a single unique Internet computer host in an IP network Example 192 168 2 1 It consists of 2 portions the IP network address and the host identifier The IP address is a 32 bit binary pattern which can be represented as four cascaded 6699 decimal numbers separated by aaa aaa aaa aaa where each can be anything from 000 to 255 or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb bbbbbbbb where each b can either be 0 or 1 A network mask is also a 32 bit binary pattern and consists of consecutive leading 71 1 s followed by consecutive trailing 0 s such as 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as x number of leading 1 s When both are represented side by side in their binary forms all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1 s in the network mask become part of the IP network address and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID For example if the IP address for a device is in its binary form 11011001 10110000 10010000 00000111 and if its network mask is 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000000 It means the device s network address is 11011001 10110000 10010000 00000000 and its host ID is 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000111 This is a convenient and efficient
