Question

2. Tarun has written the following IP address:
123.289.12.100
Is this address correct? Give reasons.
​

Answer 1

No, this IP address is not correct

IP Address - Internet Protocol Address

It is a unique logical address of every machine which is on the network. It is Assigned by user.

Form of Ip address

• IP4 [32 bit] -> 0 - 255 (range) and separated by . (dot)
• IP6 [128 bit] -> hexadecimal form and separated by : (colon )

=> Now return back to your question

123.289.12.100

It is clear that this IP address is IP4 because it is seprated by dot (.)

And its range should be between 0 -255

but 289 is not in 0 - 255

Its mean IP Address is not correct
