IP Addressing Series – Part 6: Introduction to Subnetting - Basic guide for beginners
Understand the Basic Concept of Subnetting in Beginner-Friendly Way In a large networks, hundreds and thousands of devices are connected, such as computers, laptops, printers and different types of servers. All the connected devices share the same network as a result data traffic is increases and the network become difficult to manage. Subnetting is used to solve the overload of network. In subnetting networks are divided into smaller sections which are called subnets. Each subnet works as a separate network. This reduces the overload traffic and improves network performance. In today’s blog, we will learn the basics of subnetting, its importance and how subnetting works. Before learning subnetting , Understanding of IP addressing fundamentals is important. Let’s understand what Subnetting is. Subnetting is a process of dividing one large network into multiple smaller networks which known as subnets. Each subnet connects to the main network but works as an independent netw...
