IPv6 addresses are usually displayed in hexadecimal format, which is easier to read and understand.

A subnet mask is used to determine the network address of a device by masking out the host address.

Each group or octet of an IPv4 address can have a maximum value of 255.

Each device on a network needs a unique IP address to avoid conflicts and ensure smooth communication.

An IPv6 address is 128 bits in length, providing a much larger number of total addresses.

IPv4 addresses are typically displayed as four separate numbers separated by periods.

IPv6 addresses are separated into eight different groups, each consisting of 16 bits.

An IPv4 address consists of 32 bits in total.

The default gateway allows devices to communicate outside the local subnet by routing traffic to other networks.

IPv4 is the primary protocol for almost everything that we do on today’s networks.
