IP Address:-

          IP stands for Internet Protocols. It is a numerical label or value that is used to uniquely identify a computer on the Internet that uses the Internet protocol for communication. The address is made up of 32-binary bits in an IP address. The numbers are grouped into four octets and are separated by dots. Each octet consists of 8 bits each, that is, 4*8=32 bits. In a decimal format, each octet has a minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 255. It starts from 0.0.0.0 and the end is 255.255.255.255 in a decimal format.

          In IP addressing scheme, a static IP address is permanent address which will never change, whereas a dynamic IP address device changes its IP address every time when accessing internet.

              The 32-bit IP address is grouped into eight bits, each separated by dots, and represented in decimal format (known as dotted decimal notation).

Important Point:-

i. IP Address is divided into 4 parts

ii. Each Part is known as octet

iii. Each octet is equal to 8 bit

iv. Each part is separated by . ( dot)

v. IP Address is of 32

vi. IP address is divided into 4 bytes

Note:- IP Address range available 1-255
