An IP address is a 32-bit number divided into 4, 8-bit octets that are separated by periods, which is called dotted decimal notation. The first octet denotes the class of the IP address. Each octet can have a value from 0 to 255. The address has two parts-one is the network ID and the other is the host ID. The network portion of the address is determined by the subnet mask.
