FAQ
Q: What is an IP address?A: An IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to a network.
Q: What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?A: IPv4 uses a 32-bit address scheme, while IPv6 uses a 128-bit address scheme. IPv6 provides a much larger address space.
Q: How do I find my IP address on a Windows computer?A: You can find your IP address by opening the Command Prompt and typing 'ipconfig'.
Q: How do I find my IP address on a Mac?A: You can find your IP address by opening the Terminal and typing 'ifconfig'.
Q: What is IP subnetting?A: IP subnetting is the process of dividing a network into smaller subnetworks, called subnets, to improve network efficiency and security.
Q: What is a subnet mask?A: A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that identifies the network portion and the host portion of an IP address.
Q: What is CIDR notation?A: CIDR notation is a shorthand way of representing an IP address and subnet mask together, using CIDR prefix notation.
Q: How do I calculate the number of hosts in a subnet?A: To calculate the number of hosts in a subnet, subtract 2 from the total number of addresses.
Q: What is a DHCP server?A: A DHCP server is a network service that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration information to devices on a network.
Q: What is a default gateway?A: A default gateway is the IP address of a router or gateway device that allows devices on a network to communicate with devices on other networks.
Q: What is NAT?A: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique used to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses, allowing multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address.
Q: What is a firewall?A: A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic, allowing or blocking specific traffic based on predefined security rules.
