Overview/Description
Subnetworks, also known as subnets, are very common in all but the smallest of network environments. Subnetworks segment the network into smaller divisions that have their own addresses. Each host is represented by a unique IP address, which can be represented in either binary or decimal form for computers and users, respectively. In some cases, some of the bits that are used for the host portion of an IP address are “borrowed” to create the subnet address. The subnet mask defines which part of the IP address represents the network part. This course explains binary numbers and describes how subnets function and how they are computed.
