1. Host IP Address
IP Address: Every computer on the Internet is given a unique 32-bit Internet address, called an IP address.
(1) The composition of the IP address
The IP address consists of two parts, 1
| Network Address (Net-id) |
Host address (Host-id) |
32 Guests
Net-id indicates which network the computer belongs to, and Host-id identifies the computer on that network.
The IP address is a 4-byte, 32-bit binary number string that is typically divided into 4 "8-bit binary" (that is, 4 bytes). For ease of memory, IP addresses are usually written as 4 decimal integers separated by decimal points.

Range of IP address values
| Address category |
Range of values |
| Class A |
0.0.0.0~127.255.255.255 |
| Class B |
128.0.0.0~191.255.255.255 |
| Class C |
192.0.0.0~233.255.255.255 |
Special provisions:
Host ID is set to 1 address for broadcast address, broadcast communication for corresponding network
A host ID setting of 0 indicates the network on which the computer resides. Called Network address
Class A network address 127 is a reserved address for network software testing and communication of local processes, called loopback addresses.
(2) Private and public address
Private address: Can only be used in LAN, WAN can not be used. There are the following:
Class A: 10.0.0.1~10.255.255.254
Class B: 172.16.0.1~172.31.255.254
Class C: 192.168.0.1~192.168.255.254
Public address: Other than the private address.
2. Subnet mask

Detailed information.
For Class A addresses, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0; for Class B addresses, the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0; for Class C addresses, the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
The subnet mask setting must follow certain rules. As with the binary IP address, the subnet mask consists of 1 and 0, and 1 and 0 are contiguous respectively. The length of the subnet mask is also 32 bits, the left is the network bit, the number "1" means that 1 of the number is equal to the length of the network bit, the right is the host bit, the binary number "0" means that the number of 0 equals the length of the host bit. The purpose of this is to allow the mask and IP address to do bitwise AND operation with 0 to cover the number of the original host, without changing the number of the original network segment, and it is easy to determine the number of subnets by 0 digits (2 of the host bit-2, because the host number is 1 when the network broadcast address, all 0 indicates the network number, This is the two special addresses). Only through the subnet mask can you indicate the relationship of the subnet that the host resides with the other subnets, and make the network work properly.
