Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the maximum length of an IPv4 address?
  • Step 1: Understand that an IPv4 address is a way to identify a device on a network.
  • Step 2: Know that an IPv4 address is made up of 32 bits.
  • Step 3: Realize that these 32 bits are divided into 4 groups of 8 bits each.
  • Step 4: Each group of 8 bits can represent a number from 0 to 255.
  • Step 5: Since there are 4 groups, the total number of unique addresses is 2^32, which is about 4.3 billion.
