IP Addressing Series – Part 6: Introduction to Subnetting - Basic guide for beginners

Image
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...

Binary Conversion for Networking – Learn How to Convert from Decimal to Binary and Binary to Decimal Understanding the Concept of Binary Conversion In Networking, devices communicate using numbers. Computers and networking devices use the binary number system, while humans use the decimal numbers to process information. Binary is the language of computers . Every single task performed by a computer, like Sending data over network, Opening websites, File transferring and process any kind of information, all represented using only two digits which are 0 and 1 . These digits are known as binary digits or bits . In this blog, we will learn binary number system in depth and understand how to convert decimal to binary and binary to decimal, also understanding its role in networking using some examples. Let’s understand what is Binary Number System? The Binary number system is a base-2 number system that defines it only uses two digits: 0 1 All binary numbers rely on 0 and 1, while decimal nu...
