Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In IP addressing, what does the term 'supernetting' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that an IP address is like a home address for devices on a network.
  • Step 2: Know that a subnet is a smaller part of a larger network, similar to a neighborhood within a city.
  • Step 3: Realize that sometimes, many small neighborhoods (subnets) can be combined into a larger area (supernet) to make things easier.
  • Step 4: Learn that supernetting is the process of merging these smaller subnets into one larger network.
  • Step 5: Understand that this helps simplify routing, which is like giving directions to get to a place more easily.
