IP Networking Concepts
CIDR Notation
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) uses /n notation where n is the number of network bits.
- • /24 = 255.255.255.0 (256 addresses, 254 usable)
- • /25 = 255.255.255.128 (128 addresses, 126 usable)
- • /30 = 255.255.255.252 (4 addresses, 2 usable)
Private Networks
RFC 1918 defines private IP address ranges for internal networks.
- • 10.0.0.0/8 (Class A private)
- • 172.16.0.0/12 (Class B private)
- • 192.168.0.0/16 (Class C private)
Security Note: Private IP addresses are not routable on the internet and require NAT (Network Address Translation) for internet access. This provides an additional layer of security for internal networks.
