A subnet IP refers to a portion of an IP address that is used for subnetting. Subnetting is the process of dividing a larger IP network into smaller sub-networks or subnets to improve network efficiency, security, and management. The subnet IP identifies a specific subnet within the larger IP network. The subnet of an IP … Read more

Simple Network Mail Protocol (SNMP) is a likely typographical error, as there is no protocol by this name. SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is used for network management. The SNMP protocol is a standardized protocol used for managing and monitoring devices on IP networks. It facilitates the exchange of management information between … Read more

A valid DNS domain name follows specific rules and conventions set by the Domain Name System (DNS). It consists of alphanumeric characters (letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, and hyphens), separated by dots. It must start and end with a letter or number, with a maximum length of 63 characters per label and a total maximum length … Read more

NAT (Network Address Translation) is a method used in networking to allow multiple devices on a local private network to access external networks (such as the internet) using a single public IP address. NAT translation works by modifying the IP address information in IP packet headers as they pass through a router or firewall device. … Read more

VPN security refers to the measures and protocols implemented by Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data transmitted over public networks. VPNs utilize encryption technologies and secure tunneling protocols to create a private and encrypted connection between a user’s device and a remote server or network. This prevents unauthorized … Read more

A data VLAN is used to separate and manage user data traffic on a network. It helps to organize and segment network traffic, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth and enhancing security by isolating data traffic from other types of traffic such as voice or management traffic. A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical … Read more

A characteristic of a WAN (Wide Area Network) is its ability to cover large geographical areas, connecting multiple smaller networks such as LANs (Local Area Networks) across cities, countries, or even globally. WANs are designed to facilitate communication and resource sharing over long distances. A characteristic WAN typically involves leased telecommunication lines or satellite links … Read more

A gateway in networking refers to a device or software component that acts as an entry and exit point between different networks, facilitating communication and data transfer. It serves as a bridge or intermediary that connects networks with different protocols, architectures, or communication channels. In networking, a gateway is a term used to describe a … Read more

An IP address is typically divided into four parts, known as octets or segments, separated by dots. Each part consists of 8 bits, forming a total of 32 bits for IPv4 addresses. These parts are essential for uniquely identifying devices on a network and routing data packets to their destinations accurately. The four sections of … Read more

An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two primary functions: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network topology. A local IP address, also … Read more
