IP Addressing Explained for Beginners | IPv4, IPv6, Network & Broadcast Addresses

Introduction to IP Addressing | Networking Fundamentals In this lesson, we explore the fundamentals of IP addressing, one of the most important concepts in computer networking. You will learn what an IP address is, how IPv4 addresses are structured, the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, IP address classes, subnet masks, network addresses, broadcast addresses, and how to calculate usable hosts within a subnet. Topics Covered: ✓ What is an IP Address? ✓ Logical vs Physical (MAC) Addresses ✓ IPv4 Structure and Dotted Decimal Notation ✓ Binary Representation of IPv4 Addresses ✓ IPv4 vs IPv6 Comparison ✓ Classful Addressing (Class A, B, C, D, and E) ✓ Private and Public IP Addresses ✓ Understanding Subnet Masks ✓ CIDR Notation (/8, /16, /24, /26) ✓ Network Address Calculation ✓ Broadcast Address Calculation ✓ First and Last Usable Host Addresses ✓ Calculating Usable Hosts (2ⁿ − 2) ✓ Loopback Address (127.0.0.1) ✓ APIPA Addresses (169.254.x.x) This video is ideal for students studying Computer Networks, CCNA, Networking Fundamentals, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Computer Science.
