IP Addresses & Subnets — How Devices Actually Find Each Other

IT Foundations · about 20 min

Read IPv4 prefixes, identify private address ranges, and separate an address conflict from an unproven symptom.

Addresses and scope

An IP address belongs to an interface in a network scope. A device can have more than one. Ordinary host addresses must not conflict within the relevant network. IPv4 uses 32 bits, usually shown as four octets. IPv6 uses 128 bits.

Private IPv4 ranges are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. The middle range runs from 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255; not every address starting 172 is private. These addresses can be routed within private networks but are not globally unique public addresses.
