Episode 41: Introduction to IP Addressing and Subnetting

This episode introduces the fundamentals of IP addressing and subnetting, two of the most critical skills for the Network Plus exam. It explains how IP addresses identify hosts on a network and how subnetting divides larger address spaces into smaller, manageable segments. Concepts such as network ID, host ID, and broadcast address are defined, providing the foundation for understanding how communication occurs at the network layer. Mastery of these principles is essential for both exam success and professional troubleshooting.The episode also explores why subnetting is important in practice, such as conserving address space, reducing broadcast domains, and improving network performance. Examples demonstrate how subnetting enables the creation of efficient network designs, from small offices to large enterprises. You will also learn how the exam tests these skills with calculation-based questions, requiring both accuracy and speed.
