Converting an IP Address to Binary — it's EASY

IP addresses are really just binary numbers, divided up into 8-bit sections.
Understanding how to convert them into binary can help you better understand concepts like subnetting.

  • IDK where you went but we all wish you would continue making videos. You are a natural teacher…

  • This is the best and easy video, I understood it almost immediately. Thank you!

  • No one talking about the binary he got for converting 168

  • It was better explained however the extra 0’s weren’t needed tbh 1 means on & 0 means off so all the numbers on just put 1 & 0 for off

  • You are a genius, brother. So happy I found your video!!!

  • I think I understand most of it but started getting lost towards the end when you marked the ip dotted numbers as equaling 8 bits and it came to 255? Im still trying to figure how that number came up

  • The binary to decimal conversion at last is giving me value 3231974658 can u tell me how u arrived at value 807,993,986

  • THAT IS THE MOST AMAZING EXPLANATION EVER BETTER THAN THE COMPLICATING SCHOOL VIDEOS YOU NEED MORE SUB,VIEWS,AND LIKE YOU DERESEVE MOREE

  • you explained this so much better than a 15 minute school video that made it more complicated than it needed to be

  • okay…I'm confused. With 12 hosts, my professor got 4 bits. I'm only getting 2 following your example

  • Your videos are the best ones i found so far. Please explain IPv6 Subnetting and subtopics from IPv6 as easy as you did with ipv4. I'm happy, i just understood ipv4

  • Spotted a typo in the video description, I think it should be 8-bit instead, in "IP addresses are really just binary numbers, divided up into 9-bit sections".
