This session is designed to provide a clear and concise introduction to IPv4 networking concepts for individuals new to the field. Participants will gain a solid understanding of the fundamental building blocks of IPv4 networks, including IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways.
Key Topics: IP Addresses: Learn the structure, purpose, and different types of IPv4 addresses (public, private, loopback). Subnet Masks: Understand how subnet masks are used to divide networks into smaller subnets, enabling efficient resource allocation and management. Default Gateways: Discover the role of default gateways in routing traffic between networks and how they are configured.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, participants will be able to: Explain the basic structure and function of IPv4 addresses. Calculate subnet masks and determine the number of hosts per subnet. Configure default gateways on network devices. Understand the relationship between IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways in a network.
