Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Every device needs a unique address.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Thi...
↳ An IP address uniquely identifies a device on a network, enabling data to be routed to the correct destination.
Two versions, vastly different sizes.
↳ IPv4 is the older, more common standard, but IPv6 is necessary to accommodate the growing number of internet-connected devices.
Network part and host part.
Every IP address is logically divided into two parts: the network portion and the host portion. The network portion identifies the specific network the device belongs to, while the host portion identifies the specific device on that network. The subnet mask determines...
↳ An IP address's network part routes data to the right network; the host part delivers it to the right device.
An IP address is a unique numerical identifier for devices on a network, with IPv4 (32-bit) and IPv6 (128-bit) as the two main versions. It consists of a network portion and a host portion, separated by a subnet mask, an...

21 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
An IPv4 address is how many bits long?
Beginner32 bits
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, typically represented in dotted-decimal notation.
Which class of IP address has the default subnet mask 255.0.0.0?
BeginnerClass A
Class A addresses use the first octet for the network portion, so the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
What is the network address of the IP 192.168.5.130 with subnet mask 255.255.255.192?
Intermediate192.168.5.128
The mask 255.255.255.192 (/26) gives a block size of 64. 130 falls in the 128-191 range, so the network address is 192.168.5.128.
Which of the following is a valid Class B private IP address range?
Intermediate172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
The private Class B range is 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 as defined by RFC 1918.
