Understanding Subnetting

Subnetting is the process of dividing a single, large network into smaller segments called subnets. This practice helps improve network performance, increase security, and streamline network management by grouping devices logically based on their network requirements. Subnetting involves creating a subnet mask to determine the network and host portions of an IP address, enabling efficient routing between subnets and enhancing network organization and security.
