127.0.0.1 is the standard IP address used for a loopback network connection. This means that if you try to connect to 127.0.0.1, you are immediately looped back to your own machine, considering that a local server is installed on your machine. 127.0.0.1 is also referred to as “localhost”, meaning ‘this computer’.
If telnet, ftp, etc commands are fired to 127.0.0.1, you would be connected to the very same machine from where the commands are fired. For example, if a system is named...

192.168.1.1 is an IP address in the private IP address range 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255.
Private IP addresses are special, because they can be utilized over and over again on different networks. In other words, both you and I can have 192.168.0.0/16 networks at the same time.
The downside to this is that private IP address ranges are considered non-routable. That is to say, private IP addresses cannot communicate on the Internet without the use of Network...

IP addresses were originally organized into classes. The address class determined the potential size of the network.
The class of an address specified which of the bits were used to identify the network, the network ID, or which bits were used to identify the host ID, host computer. It also defined the total number of hosts subnets per network. There were five classes of IP addresses: classes A through E.
Classful addressing is no longer in common usage and has now been...

A subnet mask allows you to identify which part of an IP address is reserved for the network, and which part is available for host use. If you look at the IP address alone, especially now with classless inter-domain routing, you can't tell which part of the address is which. Adding the subnet mask, or netmask, gives you all the information you need to calculate network and host portions of the address with ease. In summary, knowing the subnet mask can allow you to easily calculate...
